This course aims to introduce students to canons of the West, starting with Greek mythologies, tragedies, comedies, and Homer’s epics. After having a brief glimpse at the marvels of Hellenic culture, students will have access to the two representative works of Hebraism and the most influential works to Western civilization, that is, the Old Testament and the New Testament. Masterpieces from the Middle Age and the Renaissance such as The Divine Comedy, Don Quixote, and William Shakespeare’s plays will also dazzle the students with their insights into life journey, medieval chivalry, and poetic art.
