Vergil: The Aeneid
L10  431  Latin
Although he used the Iliad and Odyssey as literary models, Vergil created a  thoroughly Roman epic with the Aeneid, a poem born as the first emperor of Rome rose to power, putting an end to the civil wars and inaugurating a new era of peace and prosperity for Rome. The poem addresses contemporary issues by relating the travels and toils of Aeneas, the mythical hero of Troy. We will discuss the political as well as the literary background of what is considered Rome's greatest literary achievement; we will explore the degree to which it provides a new model of the Roman military and political leader; the  ideological implications of the poem's political agenda for the Romans of its  time; we will also try to understand how and why it has survived so successfully and continues to fascinate its innumerable readers.  Prereq: Lat 318C or permission of instructor and sophomore standing or above.  (INTERESTED FRESHMEN SHOULD CONSULT THE INSTRUCTOR AND CANNOT REGISTER WITHOUT PERMISSION.)  3 units.
