| Description: | The ancient world was filled with monsters who threatened the lives of human beings and the natural order of the universe. They needed to be conquered, destroyed, or banished by heroes or gods for the safety of all. Beyond the myths, however, these monsters have deeper significance, reflecting fears and embodying social concerns. In studying the monstrous, we can learn about the anxieties of the ancient Greeks and Romans as well as our own. 365体育博彩_365体育app-彩票*官网 will investigate the different roles and representations of monsters in ancient texts and art, consider how our notions of the monstrous are influenced by those of our ancient predecessors, and compare them to modern depictions. Dr. Theodora Kopestonsky (Dr. K) is a Greek archaeologist and Classics professor who has a passion for studying ancient dead Greek guys and their stuff (especially little clay figurines), is an expert on Corinthian nymphs, and hails from a triad of sisters, but you will only find out by taking the class whether or not she is a gorgon! |
