A unique examination of several legendary figures from Greco-Roman antiquity. Employing the disciplines of mythology, historiography, and the study of popular culture, the student develops a synchronic, multi-millennial understanding of such men and women as Achilles, Medea, Alexander the Great, and Cleopatra by studying primary ancient, medieval, Renaissance, and modern sources from such diverse perspectives as those of epic, lyric, and dramatic poetry, scientific and romantic biography, political propaganda, painting, popular fiction, and documentary television, as well as feature film.
