1 HRS 213: Ancient Greek Culture Dr. Nystrom Spring 2016 Tuesdays 5:30-8:20 Sequoia 128 CONTACT INFORMATION Office: 2011 Mendocino Office Phone: Office Hours: T 5-5:30 and 8:20-8:50; MW 1:00-2:00 COURSE DESCRIPTION A graduate-level survey of the culture of Greek culture in the Classical and Hellenistic periods. Emphasis on history, social and private life, poetry, philosophy, religion, drama, mythology, art and architecture. YOUR RESPONSIBILITY The success of a seminar course like this one depends upon the participation of every student. You are responsible for attending all class sessions, mastering all assigned readings, making insightful and productive contributions to class discussions, and submitting assignments on time. The material we ll be exploring in this course is exciting stuff! You re going to learn a lot and we ll all have a great time as long as everyone does his/her part. TEXTS The following are available at the campus bookstore. If you wish to use other translations or books in electronic format you may do so. C. Freeman, The Greek Achievement (Penguin) Homer, Odyssey (trans. R. Fitzgerald; Farrar, Straus, Giroux) Hesiod, Theogony and Works and Days (trans. M.L. West; Oxford) Aeschylus, The Oresteian Trilogy (trans. Philip Vellacott; Penguin) J. Mikalson, Ancient Greek Religion (Blackwell) In addition to the texts listed above, there are Supplementary Readings (SR) posted on the HRS 213 SacCT website. You are responsible for bringing the appropriate supplementary readings to each of our weekly class sessions. You may bring printed hard copies to class or access them using a laptop or some other electronic device. Every student should have his/her own copy of every text. Bringing the appropriate texts to class is a factor in class participation.
2 DISCUSSION QUESTIONS The Discussion Questions that appear below in connection with each week s assigned readings are designed to draw your attention to important questions and issues associated with the readings. The Discussion Questions are a good guide to what is most important about each of the assigned readings. COURSE REQUIREMENTS Regular attendance and productive contribution to class discussions: 25 points Five 1-2 page response papers: 25 points (5 points each) One page research paper/interpretive essay: 50 points There may be occasions on which I will divide the class into small groups responsible for leading class discussions on specific topics the following week. This will be counted as part of your performance in regular attendance and productive contribution to class discussions. The same goes for your brief presentation of your research paper/interpretive essay at the end of the semester. RESPONSE PAPERS The five Response Papers are 1-2 page, double-spaced responses to assigned readings. Although the response papers are informal (i.e., they can be speculative and might contain a few grammatical or spelling errors), they must be clearly written, demonstrate real familiarity with the texts, and give evidence that you have put considerable thought into them. It is your responsibility to refer frequently to the syllabus in order to determine when Response Papers are due. RESEARCH PAPER/INTERPRETIVE ESSAY You may write a paper on any topic that relates directly to the course. You might want to write a research paper in which you make extensive use of primary and secondary sources to investigate some topic that interests you (e.g., non-greek influences on Greek sculpture, the development of Athenian democracy, ways of interpreting Greek myths). On the other hand, you might want to write an interpretive essay in which your focus is not so much on research as it is on a more penetrating analysis of assigned readings than we have time to do in class (e.g., moral lessons in Homer s Odyssey, how the Oresteia reflects fifth century BCE social realities, Hesiod s views on humanity). It is important to choose a paper project that can be completed successfully in a single semester and for which you have the necessary skills. Choose a paper topic that will allow you to acquire breadth of knowledge. In-depth probing of narrow issues is more appropriate for Ph.D. dissertations. The semester moves along quickly, so it s important to find a topic quickly especially since your proposal for a topic and source materials is due at our fourth class meeting.
3 To get started in your thinking about possible topics, browse through this syllabus. Check out the readings, subjects, questions, and issues that will make up the stuff of our class discussions. You can also ask me for help. I will be happy to sit down and brainstorm with you. Make sure you choose a topic that really interests you. Be sure you have the linguistic and research skills required for your topic. Papers must be pages in length and written in 12-point Time or Times New Roman with one-inch margins all around. Quotations of more than three lines should be single-spaced and slightly indented. Your name and title should appear on a separate page stapled to the front of your paper. In formatting notes, you may use any of the commonly accepted styles (MLA, Chicago, etc.). Papers must be written in clear, easy-to-understand English and free from errors in spelling and grammar. Your reasoning must be clear, mature, and based on solid foundations. You must good use of good sources. You may use web-based sources, but these must be respectable and scholarly. When I read your paper, I ll visit the websites you ve used in order to determine whether they are up-to-standard. Be sure to give proper credit to those whose work you use in your paper. I make frequent use of various search engines when I suspect plagiarism. I assign a grade of zero to any paper with even a single plagiarized clause. The Research Paper/Interpretive Essay is due in my office by noon on Tuesday, May 17. SCHEDULE OF TOPICS, READINGS, AND ASSIGNMENTS January 26: Introduction Introduction to course.
