Greek Mythology: Ovid’s Metamorphoses

Description

Do you want to learn about Greek and Roman myths, and discover those which personally speak to 
you or have influenced Western culture? We’ll focus upon several dozen Greek myths interpreted by 
the Roman poet, Ovid in his poetic, readable classic, Metamorphoses. Class will include mini-lecture, discussion of readings, and viewing excerpts from mythical movies and documentaries. Reading assignments will be approximately 40 enjoyable pages per week. By the first class, students should 
have on hand Ovid’s Metamorphoses – preferably the Mandelbaum or Lombardo translation – and read the first chapter.
