Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The Seminar will explore a range of topics that are at the cutting edge of research into religion and mythology in which regard I would be providing my own expertise as the editor of the Gods and Heroes of the Ancient World series, that is setting the agenda for the study of mythological personages, as well as of two books on Athena, one of which is scheduled to be published in 2010 by Oxford University Press. Topics could include: what is 'Greek religion'?: looking from the inside; anthropomorphism; polytheism; religion and politics: the Peisitratos-Phye incident; transgression in Greek religion: Dionysos and the Dionysiac, and Athena's tragedy: the story of Erichthonios. Students would explore a range of methodological approaches including psychoanalysis, structuralism and reception theory in which regard I would include a session on a topic that I'm exploring in the book for Oxford, on Klimt's appropriation of classical mythology as part of the Viennese Secessionist evaluation of turn-of-the-century gender and culture. The study of this topic would be augmented by a linked-in visits to modern Athena monuments in Vienna above all in the the Kunsthistorisches Museum.
