Description

Examines both the phenomenon of sin in the Graeco-Roman world and much of the recent historiography of the period. Topics will include ancient notions of evil and sin, sexuality, violence (especially domestic), drugs (alcohol in particular), and the use of magic. Addresses current scholarship on these subjects, as well as introducing the methodologies historians, archaeologists and classicists use to do research on these topics.
