    Description
    This course introduces students to the meaning and function of myth in the literature of Ancient Greece and Rome using translations of epic, poetic, and dramatic texts of classical writers and philosophers. Instructors highlight the ways that these classical texts develop literary themes and universal human concerns that recur throughout literary history and continue to have significance in modern works. Honors Classical Mythology uses the pedagogical methods common to all Honors courses: trans-disciplinary, writing-intensive, collaborative, and experiential instruction. As an honors course, there is a focus on analytical writing and an emphasis on a higher degree of student participation and leadership in class discussions and other interactive teaching/learning techniques that are generally unsuitable for larger undergraduate courses.
