Epic Emotions: Iliad and Mahabharata

This class uses the larger-than-life emotions of classical epics, comparing those 
from two different cultures: the Greek Iliad and the Indian Mahabharata. We read from the 
originals (in translation) and take into account contemporary representations to trace how 
heroes, heroines, and villains deal with fear, anger, hatred, grief, pity… and yes, also love and 
humor!
