CNX 101 - Greek Tragedy & the Tragic

Description
This course will examine the tragic drama of ancient Athens and consider both the continuities with our modern sense of the term tragedy and the far greater number of ways this literature reflects values and interests that are peculiar to Athenian society, above all in relation to religion, gender, politics and education. In analyzing ancient literary, historical and artistic works students will develop skills in close reading and the use of evidence to support observations and arguments in discussion and writing.
