In particular, through a systematic study of how the discourses of literature, politics, law, religion and medicine conceptualize and defined the terms masculine and feminine, this course will investigate how ancient Greek and Roman cultures engaged in a discourse on sex and gender roles in their societies. Comparisons with the past and practices in other societies will serve as reference points in order to allow the modern student to re-evaluate his/her own perceptions and views of these matters.
