教学大纲 Classics or classical studies is a discipline within the humanities which covers the history, language, literature, philosophy and visual culture of ancient Greece and Rome in the period from the beginning of the Mycenaean civilization around 1600 BC until the collapse of the western Roman Empire in the fifth century AD. The aim of this course is to offer the students an introduction to this discipline, not by providing a digestible narrative of the history of ancient Greece and Rome, but by dealing with methodologies and major scholarly debates in the field of classics. The idea is that by focusing on debates and on methodologies students will become familiar with the conduct of research in the field of classics.
The debates and topics to be covered in the course should be chosen in such a way that various aspects of the Graeco-Roman world are dealt with. The following themes may be useful: literacy in antiquity;
