Description:

What do stories of heroes, dreamers, travelers, monsters inform us about an age of real and mythical intermingling? This seminar interrogates the contours of "history," "fact," "fiction," "myth," when studying epics: Gilgamesh, Sundiata, Iliad, Mahayana, and others. A central question is how to use narratives to understand cultures we study.
