| 2 | Ecphrasis and the visual imagination | LQX044M05 |
How do words on the page make readers imagine a visual scene in their mind? Richly visual passages are frequent in ancient Greek literature. Through detailed descriptions of scenes and objects (‘ecphrasis’), through similes, through brief evocation of physical movement, and in many other ways, Greek literary texts are capable of conjuring vivid scenes. In this course, we will examine visual passages from epic, historiography, lyric, drama, and other genres in the context of both ancient and modern theories of the visual imagination. We will examine questions such as: What makes a text vivid? How does visuality relate to meaning? How does Greek literature stimulate the visual imagination? Does work in modern psychology help in tackling these issues?
We will together discuss a core syllabus of varied texts (in the original Greek), and students will choose and research additional texts of their own, on which they will give a presentation and, at the end of the course, write an essay. |

| 3 | Ethno-biography | LQX045M05 |
Nowadays, Tacitus' Agricola and Germania have been eclipsed by his Histories and Annals. This is a pity, for these works have much to teach us about ancient approaches to biography and ethnography. In this course, we will study them with a particular eye to:
- the works' generic affiliations;
- their approach to the fall of the Flavian dynasty;
- their use of narrativisation;
- their approach to 'the foreign other' in the light of postcolonial theory;
- prefiguration of Tacitus' later works;
- reception in later periods.
Students will give two smaller presentations over the course of this module, and will write a paper based on their own research.
Prospective students who have not taken a BA in Classics are advised to read the section on 'entry requirements' carefully. |

| 4 | Greek for Research | LQX035M10 |
| The course aims to introduce students quickly to the basics of the Ancient Greek language, and to familiarise them with the tools needed for tackling original sources. Study of grammar and vocabulary will be combined from the start with engagement with original Greek sources. Students will not only get to know the basics of the language but also experience the excitement and the depth of cultural understanding which the study of a text in the original can offer. The participants will also put their new skills into practice by working on a Greek source or text (of any period) which they can select according to their specific research interests. |

| 10 | Myth and Imperialism in Roman Republic | LGX247M10 |
It is well known that empires use myths to legitimize power claims and structures and as such provide historical and divine justification for the existing societal order. The Roman empire was no exemption to this rule, as is for example clearly attested in Virgil’s Aeneid. Apart from legitimization of power, myths also function to (re)produce important military values that an empire depends upon, such as patriotism, the willingness to sacrifice oneself for the common good, dutifulness and austerity. In the Roman Republic such values were epitomized in mythical or semi-historical heroes such as the Horatii triplets, Camillus, Cincinnatus, and female role-models such as Lucretia. This course analyses how such exemplary mythical figures functioned in the Roman Republic to propagate imperial values and norms. In particular, we will focus on those narratives that are connected to expansionist and colonial ideals and practices. The course starts with an analysis of the structure and evolution of Roman Republican imperialism and the role of hero-stories in this development. The second part of the course focuses on the spatial and material contexts of these exemplary myths. The Roman territory was scattered with monuments and places connected to these narratives. We will study the role of these mythical places in Roman society and how they functioned to (re)produce the imperial values. To this aim we will also study more modern examples of hero cults in imperial projects. An (optional) excursion to Rome based at the Royal Netherlands Institute in Rome is part of this course.The excursion is scheduled for the period March 13 to 22.
This research seminar is co-organised with the Royal Netherlands Institute in Rome. |

| 11 | Text, Language and Religion | LQX046M05 |
Our knowledge of Ancient Greek religion is for an important part based on written sources, though Ancient Greek polytheism did not have a single, sacred text, such as the Bible or Koran. In this interdisciplinary course, we will investigate ways in which writing was essential to Greek religion, study the ways in which language functions in religious writing and what these texts can tell us about the religious and socio-political contexts in which they originated.
We will study textual evidence, ranging from literary sources to inscriptions, from a variety of perspectives. This evidence includes i.a. religious decrees, oracles, magical texts, and theatre plays. The issues to be explored will include (in no particular order): speech acts and performativity of texts; the interplay between customs, laws and normativity; religious authority; questions of orality and literacy; divine anthropomorphism; writing as ritual; scripting and performance.
The course forms part of the curriculum of the MA Classics, and Ancient History and the ReMa CMEMS, but will also be of special interest to students from other disciplines (e.g. history, archaeology, religious studies, linguistics, humanities in general). Knowledge of Ancient Greek and Latin is not required. |

| 12 | Urban Timescapes in Graeco-Roman World | LGX246M10 |
Cities are hubs of energy and accelerators of ideas (Braudel), but they are also drenched in memory. A sense of time plays a large role in negotiations and diplomatic practices. For example, it becomes more and more common for claim pride of place through the antiquity of their cult, or invoke connectivities with other cities based on mythical kinship ties. Collective memories were not only invoked, but also often fabricated (e.g. as ‘invented traditions’), and were often set down for eternity through inscriptions in public places. But what kinds of places in the civic landscape were designated as memory hotspots, and how did these inscribed memories coalesce in these places? More important, how were they directed towards the present or the future – who created them, and who were they intended to impress? How were networks created not just across space, but also through time?
In this course, we will examine levels of agency in producing such ‘urban timescapes’ in public spaces. Focusing on the postclassical Greek world, we will look in detail at such places as funerary spaces (necropoleis), sanctuaries, theaters, gymnasia, and the agora. Using concepts such as place-making and deep-mapping, we will look at inscriptions, but also other kinds of data (numismatic, sculptural etc) in connection with landscape, place and architecture as we address questions such as: what kinds of memories were recorded? who recorded them? who were they intended for? whose memories were erased, or left out altogether? |
