Classics 160: The Epic Tradition
Dr. Rob S. Rice, University of Pennsylvania
"This course will introduce students to the epic poetry of the Ancient World and its continuing influence on later Western literature. After familiarizing themselves with two major works of Homer , students will read the less-celebrated Argonautica of Apollonius of Rhodes. They will next compare that adaptation of the Epic tradition to the Roman Virgil's Aeneid. The course concludes after a jump to the Renaissance to study Milton's Paradise Lost, both for its debt to the classical tradition and its adaptation of ancient themes to modern literature. The course will address issues of individual and social conduct, the competing claims of the self and the group, and the relationship of the human and the divine."
