CLAS 150C1 – Pyramids and Mummies: The Pharaoh and Ancient Egyptian Society

Gen Ed Diversity Emphasis

Tier 1 Individuals & Societies

Honors Contract

Pyramids and Mummies focuses on the person and role of the king in ancient Egypt, exploring questions about individuals and their role(s) within and shaping their society. In ancient Egypt, the pharaoh was simultaneously a religious, political, economic, and legal institution. This course illuminates and critically examines the duties of the pharaoh and the lives of the individual men and women who occupied this exclusive class, which was perhaps the most powerful monarchy in human history. Frequently seen in the popular imagination as the superlative example of the "Oriental despot" stereotype (and often inviting comparisons with modern political figures), the Egyptian kingship was rather laden with responsibility. As a divine son (or, occasionally, daughter), a king was, hypothetically, priest of all the gods. Most important of these royal duties was the perpetuation of order on social and cosmic levels. The wealth of the country flowed both to and from the pharaoh, who was also, in the ideal, responsible for the importation of foreign goods as either tribute or booty. How kings achieved all of this "and what exactly was expected of him or her"; varied through three thousand years of pharaonic history. Within Egypt, society changed. Beyond Egypt, the political and economic fortunes of its neighbors changed. The course will cover kingship in Egypt from its ill-understood beginnings among prehistoric tribal chiefdoms, through the surprisingly early climax of royal power manifested by the construction of the Great Pyramid at Giza, to the development of mummification as a form to preserve the king's body for eternity, into its travails and final usurpation by Greek rulers.

CLAS 301B – The Literature of the Ancient Romans: Latin Literature in English Translation

Honors Contract

Writing Emphasis Course

Classics 301B provides an introductory survey of Latin literature through English translations. The works to be studied include some of the earliest extant ones of the republican period down to those of the mid-empire: our authors span a period of over 300 years. We will read from a variety of genres, including comedy and tragedy, epic and lyric poetry, didactic literature, satire, historiography, the novel, letters, and philosophy. Latin writers appropriated all these genres- with the exception of satire, which apparently is a Roman innovation (satura quidem tota nostra est, Quintilian 10.1.93)-from the Greeks. In doing so they creatively and self-reflexively (Latin literature is extremely "meta") adapted their Greek source texts with a view to their own audiences and artistic purposes. The study of this literature provides a dynamic point of entry into the rich and diverse cultural world of the ancient Romans-the Roman empire was an extraordinarily complex experiment in multiethnic and polylingual exchange that is only now being rivaled by globalist movements. Latin literature is also critical to appreciation of subsequent European literatures and cultures.
