Topic: Xenophon's Oikonomikos and Hesiod's Works and Days. Section for graduate students. In this class we will read selections from Hesiod's Works and Days and Xenophon's Oikonomikos, two ancient Greek texts that advise readers how to acquire and maintain wealth, including wives and slaves. Although the course is focused on translation, we will use choice pieces of scholarship to discuss these works' literary meanings, as well as their illumination of ancient Greek sexual, economic, and environmental realities. Students primarily interested in Latin will be encouraged to draw connections to the works of Cato, Columella, Varro, and Vergil on similar topics.
