| Start Date: 01/21/2020 End Date: 05/05/2020 |
| Term: Spring Semester 2020 |
| Description: The course examines the most popular mythical love tales in Greek and Roman art and compares them with narratives in literature and in (records of) performance. The aim is to acquaint students with visual modes of storytelling and with the major media of Greek and Roman art. In which contexts did such stories appear, why, and what do we know about their reception among ancient viewers? How were such stories interpreted by later artists, in particular those of the Renaissance and Baroque periods? Do they find parallels in non-Western cultures? |
