An introduction to literary analysis within the context of foundational works of Western literature, the course includes the study of the Odyssey of Homer, the Oresteia of Aeschylus, Oedipus Rex and Antigone of Sophocles, as well as excerpts from the dialogues of Plato and the Poetics of Aristotle. Students will read closely the primary texts in translation, contribute to class discussions, and practice formulating, developing, and revising thoughtful assertions about the literature in formal essays.
