CATH 3003 - Greco-Roman Classics

Credits: 3
The heritage of ancient Greece and Rome is foundational to the Catholic intellectual tradition. In this course we will read the following works concerning the Greco-Roman world: Homer, Odyssey; Sophocles, Oedipus Rex; Vergil, Fourth Eclogue and Aeneid; William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar; Lucretius, The Nature of the Universe; Plutarch, Makers of Rome; Cicero, On Duty and On Friendship; Henryk Sienkiewicz, Quo Vadis; and St. Augustine, Confessions. In addition to regularly scheduled class sessions, this class meets for an extra hour each week, either to memorize poetry, go stargazing, practice calligraphy, or serve at the Lord’s Diner along with other opportunities for encountering the Good, the True, and the Beautiful.
