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.
