The Greeks and the Romans obviously had immense, formative influences on European and Western culture. Their direct influences are well-known: politics, philosophy, education, architecture and so on. In this course, we will together explore their literary influences, especially those that are not so immediately obvious. Each week, we will take a work of “modern” literature and investigate its debts to the Classical World of Greece and Rome. The material will be organized by literary genre – one week each of: a dramatic play, a comedic play, a romantic novel, a mystery novel, a science fiction story and a satirical essay.
