About this course

In this advanced Greek course we will follow Aphrodite through Greek poetry, tracking her appearances in epic, lyric, and on the tragic stage. How does the goddess of sex fit into the world's origins? What do her affairs have to do with Odysseus' wanderings? Can she be a fighter as well as a lover? Throughout the course we will interrogate the implications of genre and intrageneric conversation for Aphrodite's representations as well as considering how poetic representations interact with her existence in the spheres of art, religion, and politics.
