01

In the course we will read selections from Longus' DAPHNIS AND CHLOE and Chariton's CHAEREAS AND CALLIRHOE. The former is a story of young love in a pastoral setting on the island of Lesbos; the latter, an incident-packed narrative in which a young husband and wife are separated, but after many vicissitudes, reunited. Subjects covered will include genre and setting, narrative and descriptive techniques, cultural context and likely readership. |

Essential Capabilities:
Intercultural Literacy, Interpretation
Intercultural Literacy: Students will be encouraged through their reading of the Greek texts and secondary scholarship to explore the cultural context and conceptual world of the Greek novel.
Interpretation: The course will emphasize the interpretation of the novel, through study of thematic emphases, generic and intertextual associations, and narrative strategies.
