Students are introduced to the history and civilization of ancient Greece and Rome by reading a selection of political, historical, and cultural texts from the Hellenic period and the Republican and Imperial periods of ancient Rome, along with commentary to enhance the readings. The reading of literary masterworks provides a solid introduction to the Greek and Roman mythology so prevalent in our language, art, and culture.
