Classics and Comics

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2024-2025.

What can comics, video games, and other contemporary media tell us about the ancient world? In this course, we'll explore comics and graphic novels including Shanower's "Age of Bronze," Frank Miller's "300," and Kieron Gillen's retaliatory "Three," as well as video games like "Assassin's Creed Odyssey" and "Hades" that immerse players in the visual culture of the ancient world. We will analyze the techniques of graphical storytelling and use them to interpret both modern visual narratives and ancient visual evidence including the Parthenon frieze and the Pergamum altar. No prior knowledge of the ancient world is required.

When Offered Spring.
