Section Info: "Storytelling and Transformation: Narratives of Self from Homer to Arianna Huffington" The course explores storytelling and its junctures with the idea of self from the past to the present. We trace the beginnings of this phenomenon in the Odyssey and see its evolution through time in Europe and Modern Greece to end the course with a discussion about the role of storytelling in entrepreneurial culture in the United States today. Students become acquainted with important concepts, topics, and terms in the classical tradition and reception and develop their own definitions as they engage in conversation about modern contexts.
