Topics in Big Fat Books: The Illiad
CAS XL 230
Undergraduate Prerequisites: First Year Writing Seminar (e.g., CASWR 100 or WR 120) - Homer's Iliad is the oldest work of Western literature. Across its three thousand years or more of life, the world around this song of heroes and gods has changed unrecognizably — changed not once but over and over in just about every respect. And yet most readers of the Iliad today come to feel that this epic has if anything gained, not lost, in relevance and power. To read this tale of the Trojan War remains an absorbing, sometimes thrilling experience; the art of the poem, sophisticated almost beyond belief for a work so impossibly ancient, is as rich in irony and humor as it is in pathos; but in some way the book also seems to matter. This is a work that can touch us personally, with undiminished power and emotion, as a kind of truth.
