| Department: | Freshman Tutorial |
| Description: | What makes a hero? For thousands of years, epic poetry provided a vehicle for ancient societies to explore essential human questions, such as the nature of heroism, the obligations of individuals to their communities, and the balance between free will and fate. Over the course of the semester, we will read Homer's Iliad, the oldest epic poem from Ancient Greece and one of the most famous literary depictions of warfare ever recorded. By following the trials and tribulations of the Greeks and Trojans in their ninth year at war, we will grapple with questions of honor, justice, gender, and memory that continue to reverberate in modern literature and culture. |
