CLST 10.01 Rethinking the Divine
While the stories of mythology were the heritage of all Greeks and Romans, some found that the myths of the gods did not express their conception of a divine being. Philosophers as early as the 6th century B.C.E. offered their own explanations for religious thought and their own alternative accounts of the divine nature: some skeptical, some idealistic, some merely peculiar. The class will read and discuss accounts by Plato, Epicurus, Cicero, Plutarch, and others
