It is a wide-ranging account, examining how classical myths are used and understood in both high art and popular culture, taking the reader from the temples of Crete to skyscrapers in New York, and finding classical myths in a variety of unexpected places: from Arabic poetry and Hollywood films, to psychoanalysis, the Bible, and New Age spiritualism.

  • Lecture 18 Good Morning and Welcome to LLT121 Classical Mythology
    Lecture 18 Good morning and welcome to LLT121 Classical Mythology. In the next two or three class periods, we will be considering the goddess Artemis and her twin brother Apollo, two deities who, to a greater or lesser, extent represent this idea that the ancient Greeks must bow down before the divine. If you will recall from our last few class meetings, we talked about Dionysus, the god who was the externalization of partying, wine, and ecstatic possession, feel the power, feel the god inside you, feel the burn, and tear a few live animals apart. We also discussed the goddess Aphrodite, that wild and crazy goddess who is the externalization of the power of love, the power that, if you are lucky, at some point or another in your life, turns your mind to Jell-o and turns you into a love automaton. I wish you all such good luck. This is one half of the Greek psyche and this is one half of everybody’s psyche. The other half is represented by Artemis and Apollo, a goddess and a god who stand for getting a grip. Artemis is a virgin. She guards her virginity jealously. We’re going to go over a few stories this morning talking about what a bad career move it is to try to put the moves on the goddess Artemis. The god Apollo is not exactly chased. He is a bundle of contradictions, which represents, in and of himself, the full range of contradictions located, again, in the human psyche. When I believe it was Nietzsche who wanted to formulate his idea of the cosmic, he didn’t take out, oh, say, Artemis and Aphrodite.

  • Introduction to Classical Mythology
    Introduction To Classical Mythology GREEK and Roman mythology is quite generally supposed to show us the way the human race thought and felt untold ages ago. Through it, according to this view, we can retrace the path from civilized man who lives so far from nature, to man who lived in close companionship with nature; and the real interest of the myths is that they lead us back to a time when the world was young and people had a connection with the earth, with trees and seas and flowers and hills, unlike anything we ourselves can feel. When the stories were being shaped, we are given to understand, little distinction had as yet been made between the real and the unreal. The imagination was vividly alive and not checked by the reason, so that anyone in the woods might see through the trees a fleeing nymph, or bending over a clear pool to drink behold in the depths a naiad’s face. The prospect of traveling back to this delightful state of things is held out by nearly every writer who touches upon classical mythology, above all by the poets. In that infinitely remote time primitive man could Have sight of Proteus rising from the sea; Or hear old Triton blow his wreathed horn. And we for a moment can catch, through the myths he made, a glimpse of that strangely and beautifully animated world. But a very brief consideration of the ways of uncivilized peoples everywhere and in all ages is enough to prick that romantic bubble. Nothing is clearer than the fact that primitive man, whether in New Guinea today or eons ago in the prehistoric wilderness, is not and never has been a creature who peoples his world with bright fancies and lovely visions.

  • Classical Mythology (Dodd 147, MWF 10-10:50)
    UCLA, Department of Classics Instructor: Chris Eckerman Spring 2008 Office Hours: MW 12:30-1:30 and by appointment Dodd Hall 289D [email protected] Classics 30 Classical Mythology (Dodd 147, MWF 10-10:50) Men imagine not only the forms of the gods but their ways of life to be like our own—Aristotle, Politics 1252b Imagining Odysseus over time: The image on the left is a postage stamp printed by the Greek government in 1983. The image comes from an ancient vase that displays Odysseus and his men blinding the Cyclops Polyphemus; the image in the middle is a painting by the eighteenth century German painter Johann Heinrich Tischbein; it idealizes the relationship between Odysseus and his wife Penelope; the image on the right is by the German painter Max Beckmann (1943); it portrays Odysseus in the arms of the goddess Calypso with whom he lived for many years before returning home to his wife. Odysseus, like numerous characters within Greek myth, has captivated the imagination and artists have turned again and again to portray him. Course Description and Objectives: In this course, we read several literary texts, both Greek and Roman. Our focus will be on Greek myth, but we will also examine, at some length, the reception of Greek myth among the Romans and will further consider Roman foundation myths. We focus on Greek myth because the Romans have relatively little native myth; most of their myth was taken from the Greeks. One goal of the course is to provide you with a broad knowledge of Greek and Roman myths.

I hope you find hearing, reading, and seeing a part of the vast story hoard of early classical myths as they were sung, recited, and told by the ancient Greeks (Romans, and others since). Reading early classical myths is a journey into the past. The sources selected for your reading are the earliest in the Western world and serve to teach about myths from Homer, Hesiod, and the Greek dramatists, in particular. These stories not only constitute the web of story references in the Archaic (800-480 BC), Classical (480-323 BC), and Hellenistic (323-146 BC) Greek worlds, they also form the foundation for most of the stories told by the Romans and their inheritors.

INTRODUCTION1 KIRSTEN DAY The past thirty years have seen a growing scholarly interest in examin- ing films with a classical focus, a movement more or less initiated by Jon Solomon’s 1978 study The Ancient World in the Cinema. This trend gained momentum in the 1990s with the publication of Martin Winkler’s Classics and Cinema (1991) and Maria Wyke’s Projecting the Past (1997). Since then, a steady stream of books and articles on classics in the cinema has appeared, along with an increasing number of panels on this topic at aca- demic conferences.2 Classical themes have enjoyed a corresponding revival of popularity at the box office, touched off by the success of Ridley Scott’s Gladiator in 2000. The small screen followed suit with miniseries like John Kent Harrison’s 2003 Helen of Troy and serial dramas such as HBO’s Rome (2005–07).
