Classical Mythology (CLA
216) explores the stories of the gods and heroes of ancient Greece
and Rome and traces their influence on art, dance, literature, music,
poetry, and theater from antiquity to the present. Students have the chance
to read classics such as Homer's Iliad or Odyssey, tragedies
by Sophocles or Euripides, and Ovid's Metamorphoses. Many of these
works are on-line (see Perseus under Mythology Resources). In addition,
students have made use of library materials and the World Wide Web to
create sites devoted to particular divinities or heroes both in antiquity
and in the modern world.
