Classical Mythology. In this course you will become familiar with the ancient Greek Olympian
divinities and selected sagas and legends; also with the major ancient Roman divinities and
heroes/heroines. The myths about these gods and goddesses, heroes and heroines deal with the
questions and problems which most everyone must face: issues such as the nature of the universe,
why we suffer, how to attain power, coming of age, sex, marriage and death. The emphasis in this
course will be on understanding what the myths of these two cultures, ancient Greece and Rome, are
saying to us about these basic issues of life.
LLT 121 999(3) 42910
Dr. Pauline Nugent
11:00am - 12:15pm TR
Classical Mythology. This class aims to increase the students’ awareness of human values, attitudes
and behavior, while enjoying some of the main stories about Greek and Roman gods and goddesses,
heroes and heroines. It seeks to foster enjoyment of literature as a form of recreation, and to help
students become reflective readers, aware of attitudes and societal values from the past which
contrast and compare with contemporary value systems. By examining some of the world’s greatest
literature (Homer, Greek tragedies, Vergil and Ovid), we hope to develop a tolerance for other
people’s attitudes, a greater acceptance for alternative ways of dealing with life's major questions, and
a personalized coming to terms with the purpose of life and the mysteries and problems of human
existence.

sources, including fiction, non-fiction, and film. The course aims both to understand non-US points of
view and to illuminate, expound, and refine our own. In consequence, the course will be highly
interactive. You are expected, as Dewey, the great American educator urged, to ‘learn by doing’. We
will cover war literature and films from ancient Greece, 19th century America, 20th century America,
Germany, Korea, and Vietnam. Students will have the opportunity to interview combat veterans for
the Library of Congress.
