course has two main purposes: first, to see how much is implied by the notion
of historical causation and what it means to 'think historically'; second, to
gain a sense of the way the foundations of western culture were first shaped in
the Near East and then developed quite distinctively in the ancient cultures of
Greece and Rome. We will begin with the
beginnings of recorded civilization in the

credits This
course will make it possible for students with no background in ancient language
to read Homer, Plato, Greek tragedy, Herodotus, and other classical texts after
one semester's intensive work. Daily
drill and frequent quizzes, together with ample access to tutoring and extra
help, ensure that students stay on track as they master Greek grammar and
vocabulary. At this pace, students
will begin reading short selections from classical authors after only a few
weeks and longer passages by midterm.
Those wishing to enroll in this course must consult with Prof. Romm or attend the informational meeting in late April.
First-year students will be admitted only if they have prior successful
experience with language learning; other first-years are encouraged to take
Intensive Beginning Latin in the Spring semester if
they desire to learn an ancient language. *There will also be an exam hour on Fridays,
TBD. Class size: 15

We will read the first book of Herodotus' Histories,
paying close attention both to the formal aspects of his language and to the
historiographical implications of his narrative. Herodotus is 'the father of
history' -- we will explore how and why history-writing began as it did, in his
hands. Mid-semester the students will choose whether to continue with
Herodotus' fifth-century Ionic narrative or to move to Plato's Apology,
and Attic Greek. Throughout the semester
we will both be discussing fifth-century Greek culture and developing greater
control over grammatical forms and syntax.

Vergil's Aeneid is the greatest Roman epic; we will read large portions of the first half of the epic in Latin, concentrating on increasing the students' confidence in negotiating Latin forms and syntax, but also in exploring the literary genius of Vergil -- the poem's themes and literary characteristics (figures of speech, structure, tropes, depiction of character, construction of the action, etc.). We will also read the Aeneid in its entirety in English. Class size: 15
