Class meets Thursdays, April 24 - May 29

This course provides a look at women in the various roles they play in Greek tragedies: sacrificial virgin, devoted wife, faithless wife, mother, daughter and slave. Our focus will be on plays dealing with the Trojan War. We may do some reading out loud and watch one or two productions of plays. Select any translation you find enjoyable of the following plays: Aeschylus' "Oresteia Trilogy"; Sophocles' "Electra"; or Euripides' "Iphigenia in Aulus", "The Trojan Women", "Hecuba", "Electra", or "Helen". Marilyn Scott has led a number of OLLI study groups and has studied many of these plays in Greek.
