Description for CLSICS280:
Novels of adventure, love, fantasy, travel and social satire originated among the Greeks and Romans. The best-known examples from antiquity are the Satyricon of Petronius and the Golden Ass of Apuleius, but novels continued to be written in Latin well into the eighteenth century A.D., and were hugely popular. This course will introduce students to this long tradition. Themes to be considered include the depiction of sexuality, inter-cultural relations, social criticism, fantasy and science fiction.
