Welcome to our asynchronous CLAS 1110 Section!

Here you will find everything you need to complete this course. This blog is our go-to place; I do not use Blackboard. We must communicate through official Brooklyn College email. All work must be submitted by August 18, 2022. You will have a reading list, which I hope to cover, for the most part, in the lectures. You should try to read the indicated books. They are all available for free, online, through the provided link. You should listen to all the lectures (these were done in real time, for the most part, in Summer I). They are available on Youtube - you should create your own Youtube channel if you don't have one already. The playlist is Gini-CLAS-list You should watch the lectures in order (you can just listen, for most of them), but they start at number 0 and go to 20 (there is no Lecture 16). The work you must submit to me consists of the following: (i) all ten essays (prompts and readings to be provided via BC email) these should be about 400-500 words each; (ii) a short summary of what you found interesting in each lecture. These can be 200 words or so. Grading will be as follows: each of the ten essays is worth 8 points; the summary of my lectures is worth 20 points. You should submit work as a pdf file, double spaced, 12 point, Times New Roman, standard margins. In the coming days, you will get the essay prompts; you can submit them one at a time, or in groups of three or four, but please keep them all on one document which you can submit at the end of the course. I will hold two troubleshooting Zoom meets to answer initial questions. These will be at 8PM - dates TBA. My Zoom Meeting Info is: https://polyprep-org.zoom.us/my/giniclassics Good Luck!

Supplemental Thoughts #2 - Childlike Achilles

I stumbled across this piece on children and narcissists in Psychology Today, and I couldn't help but think of the passage in the Iliad (1.354-427) where Achilles recounts the preceding 350 lines to his mother, Thetis (who, as a goodess, would likely know everything in advance). W. Thomas McCary wrote a book on this ( Childlike Achilles, Ontegony and Phylogeny in the Iliad ) in 1982, and it opened many people's eyes to this aspect of Achilles' behavior. Achilles is guity in this passage of almost all of the 13 characteristics cited by the psychologist: blaming others, saying he had no choice, taking credit, withdrawing from others, etc.). Of course the Greeks might have viewed this not as childish behavior, but as godlike behavior: after all, the Olympian gods do love themselves, rarely admit to doing any wrong, and are easily bullied by Zeus, while at the same time bullying those who have less power.We sahll have to decide whether Achilles in able to break out of this chi...

List of Readings and Links

Prof. Anthony Gini 7/13/22 - 8/18/22 In this course, we will examine some of the most basic and foundational texts of Classical Antiquity, beginning with Homer and ending with the early Roman Empire. I have taught this course, or a version of it, for decades, and each summer I choose a different perspective to apply to the readings. For this summer, I have chosen the idea of narcissism. We will examine how narcissism reveals itself in the earliest literature, and track its development throughout the tradition.  Readings for Summer 2022:   Homer Iliad (5 Meetings) https://www.poetryintranslation.com/PITBR/Greek/Ilhome.php   Read Books 1, 6, 7, 16, 18, 22, 24  Homer Odyssey (4 Meetings) https://www.poetryintranslation.com/PITBR/Greek/Odhome.php  Read Books 5, 6, 7, 8, 14, 23, 24  Herodotus Histories (1 Meeting) https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Herodotus_The_Persian_Wars_(Godley)  Read Book 1, sections 1-34; Book 3, sections 1-38  Thucydides Pe...

Supplemental Thoughts #1: Echo and Narcissus

In framing the theme for this summer’s readings as an inquiry into narcissism as it develops in ancient texts, from Homer to Vergil, I found myself focusing on the character of Narcissus without fully appreciating the context in which Ovid places him (Metamorphosis Bk 3.402ff). What I failed to take into account is the importance of the myth of Echo, with which the story of Narcissus is coupled. Echo is politically silenced by Juno: by virtue of her distracting Juno from discovering the infidelities of Zeus, she is made more of a “lackey” than she was in her original form ( “Echo still had a body then and was not merely a voice. But though she was garrulous, she had no other trick of speech than she has now: she can repeat the last words out of many. Juno made her like that, because often when she might have caught the nymphs lying beneath her Jupiter, on the mountain slopes, Echo knowingly held her in long conversations, while the nymphs fled. When Juno realized this she said ‘I shall...
