This introduction to the Celtic inhabitants of Gaul and Britain unites two approaches, one literary, one linguistic. First, we will compare descriptions of the Celts found in Greek and Latin authors with readings of Celtic literature in translation, notably Ireland's great prose epic, the Táin Bó Cúailnge. Second, we will explore how the Celtic languages work, focusing on the basics of Old Irish as well as touching on Middle Welsh and Gaulish.

This class will combine Latin prose composition exercises with close analysis of the style of Cicero, with the goal of actively recognizing, understanding, and using key characteristics of literary prose style from the Late Republic. We will work through exercises designed to make us comfortable in writing Latin, lectures on topics in Latin syntax, word order, and style, and culminate in the composition of extended passages of Latin prose. There will also be a brief foray into verse composition.

The course explores Ancient Greek religious practices and beliefs with an emphasis on Greek religious rituals understood in the broadest terms, and hence including Greek magical practices and associated beliefs. Starting off with the rituals belonging to the realm of social interaction, and the rites of passage designed for female and male members of society respectively, female dedications etc. v. rituals specific for men.

This class will study the representation of Rome on both the big & small screen from the early days until now. Readings from classical sources, from film theory, & from the historical novels that inspired some of the films. We'll be asking how these imagined Romes relate to historical reality, how they engage in dialogue with one another, & how they function as a mirror for the concerns & anxieties of our own society.
