During your first year, you will be introduced to the ways in which Greeks and Romans came up with their myths, by investigating approaches to storytelling including the study of Ovid’s brilliant and compendious poem, the Metamorphoses. You may also study some Greek and Roman history, ancient philosophy and rhetoric, or art and architecture, to give you a grounding in the contemporary worlds which shaped the texts you read. And you could start learning some Latin or ancient Greek as a way to get a greater appreciation for the original authors’ use of language.
