The mythological world of the ancient Greeks and Romans was filled with dark and often gruesome tales of greed, revenge, hubris, and punishment. The Greek gods were known to inflict terrible (and often painful) punishments on mortals and fellow divinities alike, and whether these punishments truly fit the crime remains a matter of debate even today. In Gruesome, Grisly, & Gross: Epic Mythological Tales of Punishment, we explored the stories of Actaeon, Marsyas, Erysichthon, and Prometheus. In this course, which can be taken as a standalone course OR after or before Gruesome, Grisly, & Gross, we'll explore even more of the most famous and extreme punishments in the Greek and Roman mythological canon. In this course, we'll learn about the stories of Niobe, Lycurgus, and some of the most famous denizens of the underworld: Sisyphus, Tantalus, Ixion, and the Danaides. Always gruesome and grisly, and often gross, these stories have been referenced in literature, art, and film across the ages. Again, there is no prerequisite for this course. This course can be taken on its own, or it can be paired with the course mentioned above.

This course is meant to provide students with a knowledge of some of the most famous--and infamous--stories from Greek and Roman mythology. The class is designed to be more of a casual-lecture style, with around-the-campfire style storytelling woven throughout. Every story will be sourced from ancient Greek and Roman writers. I will use slides to display ancient and modern works of art that illustrate scenes from each story, and learners are invited to think about the many ways that the world of the ancient Greeks and Romans has influenced the human race across many thousands of years. Questions and discussion are always encouraged.

I allow for a certain amount of flexibility within the classroom; I believe that each class and every student is different, and as a result, the environment that my students and I co-create from class to class will always be unique. Though we will concentrate on the stories named above, the class may become more or less discussion based depending on the level of student participation and engagement. Students are also encouraged to exercise their creativity in this course; should students wish, they are more than welcome to illustrate scenes from the stories during class, and, if they wish, to share their drawings with their classmates.

Orientación para padres
Please note that some artwork may involve some modest nudity. This is never gratuitous, and it always reflects the artistic style of the day. I make an effort to keep such images to a minimum, but it is a fact that ancient and Renaissance art often made the stylistic choice to depict its subjects as partially clothed or nude. Any such images would of course be restricted to paintings, sculpture, or pottery. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Many of these stories feature some truly disturbing punishments. As the name suggests, there are a number of grisly punishments in these stories, and though this class should be fine for most learners, some of the elements of the stories could be disturbing for younger learners depending on their imagination and sensitivity. If you have any questions or hesitations, please do not hesitate to contact me for more information.

Maestría en Idioma extranjero desde University of Virginia
Licenciatura en Idioma extranjero desde Oberlin College
I fell in love with classics as an undergraduate. During high school, I had taken a few Latin courses, and I had a genuine interest in the language (as a child, I had even attempted to teach myself Latin from a book, which didn't go so well, but clearly I had an attraction to Latin from an early age!), but it wasn't something I imagined myself pursuing in any serious way in higher education. In the first semester of my freshman year at college, however, due to a mix up with my schedule, I ended up in a Roman history course, and it transformed my world. I was entranced by both the subject matter and the teacher, and when the second semester came around, I made sure to sign up for as many classics courses as I could take. By sophomore year, I was learning ancient Greek and declaring my major in classics. I received my BA in Latin Language and Literature (with an undeclared minor in ancient Greek language and literature) from Oberlin College. 

During my senior year of college, I made the decision to apply to graduate school. By that time, I had decided that I wanted to share my excitement for the classical world by becoming a teacher, and given my passion for classics, I preferred to deepen my knowledge of the subject rather than to attend a master's of education program. I received a merit-based classics fellowship from the University of Virginia, from which I received my MA in Classics. I wrote my master's thesis on the treatment of women in three exempla of Ovid's Ars Amatoria.

My classics education exposed me not only to ancient languages and literature, but to the very world of the ancient Greeks and Romans, and learning more about Greek and Roman mythology, in which I have had a strong interest since I was a child, was an integral part of the experience. Any program of study in classics demands a strong knowledge of many aspects of the ancient world outside of its languages. I love classics, and I believe my love for it shines through in every class I teach and in every interaction I have with a student.

I have been a Latin language tutor for my entire adult life, I have taught Latin language and literature courses on the college level, and as a teacher at a private school in Virginia, I taught Latin language courses (intro Latin all the way through AP Latin) for middle schoolers and upper schoolers; because the school gave teachers control over course curriculum, I structured my classes so that mythology, ancient history, and classical civilization played an integral role.
