Some ancient thinkers argued that speculation about the heavens was a distraction from the more immediate task of working out how to live well But many others thought that we could only understand ourselves by understanding that we are part of a vaster universe Where does evil come from (or good, for that matter)? Are human choices predetermined by the laws of physics? What role (if any) does god play in all of this? This course explores different approaches to explaining the cosmos and our place within it, from Socrates in the 5th century, through Plato, Aristotle, and the Hellenistic schools (Stoicism, Epicreanism), to the thinkers of the Platonist revival (very influential for Christianity) in the first century CE CLA382F G Boys-Stones TR10-12 Text: Major sources: Plato, Timaeus Translated with an introduction by Donald J Zeyl (Hackett, 2000); D N Long, and D N Sedley, The Hellenistic Philosophers vol (Cambridge, 1987) Other sources will be supplied as needed Evaluation tbd, but will be based on written research assignments CLA402H1 ADVANCED SEMINAR IN GREEK CIVILIZATION An advanced research seminar devoted to critical issues relating to Greek civilization CLA402F P Bing M5-8 In this course, students will explore the ancient Greek symposium, or male drinking party, arguably the best-attested social institution of ancient Greece It was the occasion for which poets composed most of their lyrics, often celebrating its activities in their songs; it features in numerous ancient histories, and forms the topic of many philosophical works – preeminently Plato’s Symposium, a central text in the class -; ancient drinking-ware survives in quantity, frequently depicting scenes from the parties; finally, archaeology has uncovered the remains of many drinking rooms, giving us a clear impression of the space in which the ancients drank The symposium thus appears in a rich variety of sources, which allow you to form a remarkably comprehensive picture of how it functioned After tracing its Homeric and Near Eastern antecedents, you will learn about its role in Greek culture, its political and educational significance, as well as its concern with sexuality (both hetero- and homoerotic) Further, students will trace the influence of the symposium on the Roman convivium and on later drinking practices, up through the present day Texts: Homer, Odyssey; P Bing & R Cohen, Games of Venus; Plato, Symposium (Woodruff & Nehemas transl.); Petronius, Satyrica (Branham transl.)
