In this course, students will read our only intact satyr drama: Euripides’ Cyclops. Class time will be mostly devoted to translation and discussion of Euripides’ language, syntax, and poetics, but we will also: examine the play’s narrative elsewhere in the literature and art of antiquity; explore certain thematic elements, consider theoretical approaches to interpretation; position the play within fifth-century Athenian culture; explore elements of stagecraft and performance; and review modern interactions with the play. Completion of the course will leave students with a strong understanding of ancient drama, an appreciation of satyr drama’s cultural significance, a diverse and refined skillset for research, writing, and textual analysis, and significant experience in the translation of classical Attic Greek verse.
