CLST 10.16 Gender and Sexuality in the Ancient Greek World
How did the ancient Greeks think about sex, gender, and sexuality? Which behaviors and relationships were considered socially acceptable, and why? And what does it mean to seek out ancient Greek models for contemporary (queer) identities? This course examines the construction of gender and sexuality in ancient Greece, as well as its modern reception, through the study of written texts, material culture, and feminist and queer theory.
