Classical Imagination is a writing-intensive course that introduces students to the arts of close reading and discussion necessary for the cultivation of wisdom. This course engages timeless human questions through study of Homeric epic, Greek tragedy, and Virgil’s Aeneid. Students are encouraged to step outside of the mass culture of the present moment, appreciate the artistic achievements of the distant past, and take their place in the great conversation that is the Western literary tradition.
