Learning unit contents

"Basic concepts of mythology through the intermediary of Images and their Media" Antique texts and images allow us to approach different mythological traditions, the renderings of which never cease to vary according to the era and place in question. This third year course will be built around a dozen myths whose literary transcriptions (epic, lyric, dramatic poems and prose) and iconography (sculpture, painting on vases or large-scale paintings, mosaics, coroplastics, glyptics, numismatics) will be systematically studied both in Greek and Roman civilisation.

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

The two BLOC 3 courses (HAAR0072-2 and HAAR0073-2) are based on the knowledge acquired during the first two years of study - they respond to one another and are built around a shared model. This consists of testing fundamental knowledge relating to the study of Antiquity (historical references and geographical data, political institutions and religious behaviour) by studying Greek and Roman iconography through mythology. The aim of the course is limited to the definition and application of a research process.

Prerequisite knowledge and skills

None - bearing in mind that the History of Art and Archaeology of Greek-Roman Antiquity is only one element of the indissociable whole of the Sciences of Antiquity (history, philology, history of religion).

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

For BAC students, regular presence in class is required, as well as analytical and verification work in the library which is required to pull together all the material presented. These hours of personal study, which will be required throughout the year, should be equivalent (or greater than) the number of hours in class. It is also advised that the foundations are laid on the basis of bibliographical and iconographical information.

Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning)

Lectures (illustrated with slide shows).
