This course is an introduction to Roman culture and society in ten cities and ten texts. Each city will introduce us to aspects of Roman life, including politics, identity, philosophy, gender, sexuality, slavery, in the period between 500 BCE and c.350 CE and across the regions of the Roman empire. The ten texts include epic poems, historical biographies, comic and romantic tales, and attacks on political and religious enemies. The cities and the texts will help us think about the kinds of evidence we have for ancient Rome. We will pay particular attention to both systems of oppression and cultural pluralism and marginalized experiences in the Roman world. We will also think about why modern culture remains so fascinated with Rome: how often do you think about the Roman Empire?

This course is intended as an introduction to the themes, characters, and images of Greek and Roman myth. We will create the universe, gods, and humans, and then focus on particular heroes as opportunities to consider the scope and interpretations of the mythology. We will consider how these ancient cultures conceived of deity, what it meant to be human, and how they dealt with the mysterious and the inexplicable. Primary evidence (literary references, physical remains such as temples and monuments, and iconography in sculpture and vase painting) will be used to identify and interpret the myths, study their origins, and analyze their importance for our understanding of ancient belief systems. Particular attention will be paid to the role of mythology in ancient religious ritual and its influence on culture. Lectures will be illustrated with images of ancient and more recent art, as one goal of the course is to provide the tools to recognize myths and characters in art.

This course will serve as an introduction to the poetic production of the archaic period—the elegy, iambic, and melic poetry composed between ca. 650-450 BCE throughout the Greek world. All material will be read in the original ancient Greek. This will entail reading selected poems and fragments by Archilochos, Tyrtaios, Mimnermos, Solon, Theognis, Xenophanes, Alkman, Stesichoros, Sappho, Alkaios, Ibykos, Anakreon, and Simonides. We will focus on the poems simultaneously as literary texts and as historical artifacts, considering such topics as their relation to Homeric themes and diction, the effects of orality and literacy, performance context, genre, and sociological/ideological position. We will then devote approximately the last third of the course to reading selected poetry of Pindar and Bacchylides. Course requirements include two midterms, a final exam, and a short (6-10 pp.) literary paper.

Plato's "Laws" has long stood in the shadow of its more celebrated predecessor, the "Republic." In recent years, however, scholarly interest in the work has been surging. While taking recent scholarship into account, this seminar will focus on making sense of the "Laws" in its own terms as well as in relation to the "Republic." What did Plato seek to achieve in writing this later work? Who is he writing for? Is the work a utopia? A practical guide? A blend of the two? Is it a meditation on law and law-giving? On social control of culture more generally? If it is all of these things and more, how are its themes connected?

In the current return to formalism, the humanities have seen a re-evaluation of poetic form in terms of its capacity for unruly, queer ways of being and becoming, or unbecoming. The unsettling geometries of poetic form—its breaks and cuts, as well as its power of obstruction through repetition, congestion, expansion, and contraction—create a potential for resistance or willfulness, or wild escapes from meaning. In this seminar we will familiarize ourselves with various radical formalisms through conversations with various guests who will send us a short chapter beforehand to discuss in class. The guests will be: Lucy Alford, Stephen Best, Tom Geue, Sean Gurd, Laura Jansen, Sarah Nooter, Ellis Neyra, Sarah Olsen, Victoria Rimell, Victoria Wohl. The assignment of each week will thus include primary readings (in Greek, Latin, and English) relevant to the guest’s chapter and theoretical secondary readings helpful to understand and discuss the particular approaches or angles privileged by the guest.

The four elements played a fundamental role in ancient Greek thought across all genres and discourses. Like the air we breathe, the elements are so ubiquitous in ancient texts as to largely escape notice. But precisely this ubiquity makes them productive objects of study in their own right and media through which to access the thought-world of the Greeks. From the sea as a space of commerce and colonization to Hesiod’s divine and well-worked earth, from the fires of Aetna (or of love) to the animating breath of air, the elements oscillate between matter and metaphor, organizing ancient ways of thinking and being.  

In this seminar will look at the elements both collectively (e.g. in medicine and philosophy) and individually, investigating the unique associations of each. We will follow water from liquid to solid and from the wine-dark sea to rivers and raindrops, exploring its paradigmatic fluidity of form and affordance. We will consider earth as Gaia, arable land, and political territory, but also as clay, dirt, and stone, and as the mysterious interior space of Plato’s chora. Our exploration of fire will encompass volcanoes, sacrificial fires and funeral pyres, and the cosmic “fire ever-living” of Heraclitus. Finally, air provides atmosphere, both meteorological and aesthetic, and a medium for diverse beings (including clouds, birds, ghosts, images, words, gods and daimones); its association with the soul also makes it the privileged element of life itself. Bringing together a diverse set of readings, both ancient and modern (and encouraging students to propose their own texts and topics), the seminar will use the elements as a way to explore the complex interrelation between things and words, physics and metaphysics, the natural world and its theorization. Students without knowledge of ancient Greek are welcome.

In this seminar, we will read substantial portions of Herodotus’ Histories, combined with other texts and traditions with which he was in conversation. Assuming Herodotus’ capacious, pre-disciplinary, and experimental text, we will explore his many genres and interlocutors.

This graduate seminar explores the Mediterranean world beyond the city from prehistory to the Roman period, with special emphasis on the first millennium BCE. Topics covered include: the rural/urban divide in ancient and modern thought; rural economies, labor regimes, and markets; property, land tenure, and borders; sanctuaries and festivals; and gender and class distinctions in the countryside. We will interrogate how new archaeological fieldwork, paleoenvironmental studies, epigraphy, ethnographic analogy, and comparative approaches drawn from other world regions can contribute to our understanding of the ancient Mediterranean countryside, with an eye to both interpretive challenges and opportunities.
