AS.010.314 (01)	The Art and Architecture of the Gods in Ancient Greece	F 1:30PM - 4:00PM	Shakeshaft, Hugo	Gilman 177	Spring 2026	Description: In ancient Greece, the visual arts were at the heart of human relations with the divine. Images of gods in various media were everywhere, from marketplaces to sanctuaries, from private homes to the coins in people’s pockets. Temples sacred to deities punctuated the landscape, from city-centers to remote mountain peaks. Alongside poets, artists were hugely influential in shaping ideas about gods. And by making objects for dedication, artists also provided worshippers with an essential means of divine veneration. In fact, much of what we call Greek art was made to honour deities. This course explores the relationship between the gods and the visual arts in ancient Greece, with a particular focus on the Archaic and Classical periods (ca. 700–300 BCE). What can art and architecture tell us about Greek attitudes to the gods? How and why were art and architecture important in divine worship? How did the visual arts contribute to human (mis)understanding of the divine? And what happened to the Greek gods in art after antiquity? The course tackles these questions by examining a wide range of primary material, including Greek architecture, sculpture, and painting, as well as relevant textual sources (in translation). Each week will focus on a different theme or case study, giving students the opportunity to investigate the many ways in which art’s interconnection with the gods featured in Greek culture. Topics include: the portrayal of divine myths in Greek sculpture and painting; the art and architecture of Greek sanctuaries, such as Delphi, Olympia, and the Athenian acropolis; Dionysos and the art of the symposium; Aphrodite and the emergence of the female nude in Greek art; the relationship between gods, art, and the natural landscape; and the artistic afterlives of the Greek gods, from the Renaissance to today. The course will include visits to the John Hopkins Archaeological Museum and the Walters Art Museum. Credits: 3.00 Status: Closed Seats Available: 4/15 Tags: HART-ANC
AS.010.427 (01)	Catharsis: Creating (with) Greek Tragedy	W 1:30PM - 4:00PM	Stager, Jennifer	Gilman 177	Spring 2026	Description: This seminar considers the mutual imbrication of Greek tragedy and the visual arts, from descriptions of art in the plays to inspiration drawn by artists from ancient performances. We will read extant plays in translation (those with knowledge of ancient Greek may translate key passages in addition) and trace the materialities of their performances, textual transmissions, and receptions, with particular attention to the ways in which the visual arts inspire and draw inspiration from this body of work. We will visit relevant museum collections in the region and, where possible, see live performances. Credits: 3.00 Status: Closed Seats Available: 4/15 Tags: HART-ANC, ARCH-ARCH

AS.040.420 (06)	Classics Research Lab: Mapping Ancient Skies	T 1:30PM - 4:00PM	ni Mheallaigh, Karen	Greenhouse 000	Spring 2026	Description: The influence of the ancient world is still palpable in the nomenclature of the many of the stars today; we still read the night sky, consequently, through ancient eyes. This project explores the sky as a site of transmission and translation between cultures. We will focus initially on producing a digital map of the night sky to accompany an Ancient Greek poem called the Phenomena, by Aratus of Soli (of the 3rd century BCE). In this poem, Aratus provides a detailed description of the constellations, with instructions on how to identify them - a ‘verbal map’. It is, however, very difficult to understand the poem without recourse to a visual aid. Our map will illustrate Aratus’ poem and supplement it with additional, clickable information about the stars from ancient Greek, Babylonian and Roman sources to provide a richer understanding of the stars’ ancient cultural history. Additional topics of research relevant to the project include: star-mythology; the politics of naming the stars; the history of mapping the Moon and other worlds; the history of celestial maps and models. By engaging with the history of visual illustrations itself, our digital map will, ultimately, take its place in a tradition that can be traced back to the ancient world, connecting us as modern readers of the sky with readers across thousands of years. Knowledge of ancient languages is very welcome, but not required: there is a place for everyone! Credits: 3.00 Status: Canceled Seats Available: 10/10 Tags: MSCH-HUM, ARCH-RELATE

AS.211.438 (01)	On Tyranny: Theory, Literature, History	W 1:00PM - 3:30PM	Frey, Christiane; Roller, Matthew	Gilman 108	Spring 2026	Description: Despotism, authoritarianism, autocracy, dictatorship: the terms for tyranny are legion. But what exactly do we mean by tyranny, and how are we to understand it? This seminar will explore what literature, philosophy, and political theory, ancient and modern, have to say about both this (protean) concept and its many historically charged avatars. A deeper look into the history of “tyranny” reveals unexpected complexities, from affirmative uses of the term to radical critiques. To better understand this complex history and what it is we mean when we oppose political repression today, we will read classic works from political theory, philosophy, and literature (e.g. Plato’s “Apology of Socrates,” “Republic” VIII-IX; Xenophon’s “Hiero”; Livy’s “Ab Urbe Condita” 1-2; Seneca the Younger’s “De Clementia”), early modern (e.g. Machiavelli’s “Prince”; La Boétie’s “On Voluntary Servitude”; Shakespeare’s “Macbeth”; Schiller’s “Fiesco”) and modern works (e.g. Strauss on Xenophon, followed by Kojève’s Commentary; Arendt’s “Origins of Totalitarianism”).

Socrates wrote nothing, so we depend on others for our knowledge of him. We will examine the ways he is portrayed by several different authors, including Plato. We will also examine some other ideas around in his time - some of which were pretty radical - and consider how he may have reacted to them. Finally, we will examine his influence on later thought.

AS.001.161 (01)	FYS: Why are you here? Universities: Past, Present, and Future	T 2:00PM - 4:30PM	Celenza, Chris S.; Storey, Jenna Silber	San Martin Center 200B	Fall 2026	Description: As an undergraduate student at Hopkins, you’ve likely given much thought about which university to attend and which major to choose. But why does the institution to which you’ve pledged to spend four years of your life exist? Where did universities come from? Why are they currently organized in departments, and why weren’t they organized that way for most of their past? Why was Johns Hopkins founded, and how do its aims and structures differ from those of other American institutions of higher education as well as from other universities around the world? This course aims to give students insight into the history of the university as an institution that structures the quest for knowledge. Concentrating on the period from the founding of the first university in Bologna, Italy to the present moment, we will seek to understand how the human quest to know has informed the structure of academic institutions in different ways over the course of that history. We will explore ways that the quest to know has at times challenged and changed institutional structures. And we will conclude by thinking about how efforts to know that sit uneasily within the contemporary university are challenging its structures today. This course will require students both to engage sympathetically in the close reading of texts that are emblematic of different ways of knowing, and to think in institutional terms about how those different quests to know inspired and challenged academic structures over time. We hope that this manner of studying the history of the university will both expand and discipline our imagination of what is possible and good for its future.

AS.001.297 (01)	FYS: Science before Modernity	WF 12:00PM - 1:15PM	Staff	Bloomberg 178	Fall 2026	Description: Scientific understandings of the world have changed radically over time. This First-Year Seminar will explore how people from antiquity to the Middle Ages thought that the universe worked. We will look at both the theories people used to capture and model the world around them, as well as what they took to be the facts of the world they were modelling. We will explore how these (often very foreign) facts and theories interweave to create sophisticated and nuanced ways of understanding nature that are nevertheless very different from our own--and often very strange looking--and ask probing questions about what it means for people to 'know' things about the world differently than we do today. In addition to a fascinating collection of texts in translation, this seminar will also engage with the material objects of premodern science and medicine held in local museums and in Hopkins’ fantastic rare books library.

AS.040.314 (01)	Objects as Storytellers: Micro Retellings of the Ancient Mediterranean	W 12:30PM - 3:00PM	Anderson, Emily S.K.	Gilman 150	Fall 2026	Description: How does an ancient object speak, and how do we speak for it? What stories can it convey about its life and relations, and are they coherent, interesting, reliable? What of its silences? This seminar draws together hands-on work with objects in the Archaeological Museum and discussion of readings in relevant areas of material culture theory, ancient studies, anthropology, art history, museology, and cultural heritage studies, in order to examine different approaches that have been brought to bear on ancient things in attempts to generate communications about their pasts and presents. We will consider how different disciplinary and historical interests shape these stories, with implications for the fundamental identity of the object. Each seminar participant will work with ancient objects in the museum’s collection to craft alternative accounts of their existences, through which we will consider how each version has the potential to expand, conceal, and manipulate knowledge and connections.

AS.040.372 (01)	Plato’s Mathematical Cosmos	Th 1:30PM - 4:00PM	Staff	Gilman 108	Fall 2026	Description: The Timaeus is often seen today as one of Plato’s more mysterious and puzzling dialogues. But it was also historically one of his most influential. Its account of creation, the cosmos, and its numerical ordering formed the foundation for considerable work at the junctures of science, mathematics, and philosophy, from Antiquity through the Middle Ages and Renaissance. This course will explore the complex and fascinating story told in the Timaeus together with its long-reaching legacy. We will read the dialogue in translation in its entirety as well as select later thinkers who build on its picture of the cosmos and its important mathematical, philosophical, and theological themes.

AS.060.444 (01)	From Papyrus to the PDF: The Transmission of Texts	T 1:30PM - 4:00PM	Cannon, Christopher; Dean, Gabrielle	Gilman 108	Fall 2026	Description: Texts are conveyed to readers in songs, scrolls, books, and digital files. Some of them survive over extended periods because they are successfully transferred from one form to another, while others are frozen in the past, Many are lost altogether. The form in which a text is communicated often determines how it is read -or if it can be read at all. The study of texts as they move between readers and through time illuminates more than the history of the “book” though, since the medium of the message has often shaped how we understand all aspects of the humanities. This course surveys the long history of "books," paying attention to oral and scribal traditions as well as print and the digital, paying special attention to the interactions between materiality and social contexts.
