Women in Greek Mythology
In this class, we will study legendary and mythical female figures. We will identify the characterizations and roles for these figures, and assess how their representation enhances female stature, as it informs and supports cultural identity at various historical times. We will also explore how ancient authors and artists represent the female experience generally: matriarchy, misogyny, martyrdom, marriage, gender specific cults, athletics, and election in various vocations.
