GRK 30.06 Thinking Big: Heroes in Aristophanes and Plautus

In this class we read comic texts produced in Classical Athens and Republican Rome, to consider the literary features of the comic genre and the political significance of comedy in performance. We focus on the comic hero who defies all obstacles to win desirable social goods (food, wine, sex; peace, freedom).

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
