ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION
CLT 3370
(0514)
Throughout
the term reference will be made to the post-classical survival of ancient myth
in literature, art, language, film, and advertising. While the final chapters
of Morford & Lenardon are not officially assigned, you may find it helpful
to consult these pages as an aid to your understanding of the ways the Greek
myths have been reinterpreted since the days when they were a vital part of
religion. You should definitely look at the illustrations, color and black
& white, that are in your text.
Test
scores will be posted after 4:00 p.m. within 72 hours after the date of the
examination, on the Classics Board near Classics Library by Dauer 125. The date of posting will
be announced in class; do not call the office about your grade.
