| Description: | CLA-113-04=HIS-210-04 Homer's Iliad and the Odyssey - epic poems about the Trojan War and Odysseus' homeward journey - stood at the heart of ancient Greek culture. Before they were written down, however, bards sung them around campfires for half a millennium. Those intervening centuries saw climate change, famine, disease, massive movements of population, and the collapse of major civilizations around the Eastern Mediterranean. And so this course investigates the archaeological record to ask: Do the Iliad and the Odyssey mirror such events or are they merely stories? What historical truths do the poems reflect? And how has the work of Wabash students and faculty contributed to our knowledge? This is a second-half semester course. If students register in this section, they cannot take the first-half semester course that is the same (i.e. students cannot take both CLA-113-03 and CLA-113-04) |
