CLST 11.14 Gender and Sexuality in Ancient Greece
In this course we will analyze artifacts (e.g. frescoes and vase paintings, statuary, house interiors) and texts (e.g. love poetry, court cases, philosophical treatises, medical texts, tragedy and comedy) from Greece and its surrounding islands between about 3000 and 300 BCE. In addition to thinking critically about this primary material, allowing us to formulate our own opinions about it, we will read modern scholarly and popular texts focusing on gender and sexuality in prehistoric and ancient Greece.
