Mark Schenker, Associate Dean at Yale College, will give a brief introduction to Roman Mythology, focusing on how the agrarian-based spiritualism of early Roman religion, with its emphasis on the harvest and the hearth, assimilated Greek deities and narratives for Roman ends. His review of the similarities and differences between Greek and Roman mythologies will center on works of Ovid (The Metamorphoses) and Virgil (The Aeneid).
