By the end of this course you will be able to speak, think and write clearly about ancient literature, and the roles and functions of women in ancient literature.
Additional readings are on closed reserve in the library.
Employment does not constitute a valid excuse. You are expected to complete the readings and prepare the journal entries by the first class of each week. Instead a large portion of your grade will be based on four essays written throughout the semester. Guidelines for these essays will be distributed well in advance of their due dates, and both journal assignments and informal in-class writing assignments will aid you in their preparation. Please note that essays are due on the day indicated and must be submitted in class.
