Classics/Foreign Lit, 02/07, Period 2

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

There is a cloud of melancholy surrounding Dream today as he stands before his classes.

Classics: I trust you all read Hesiod's Theogony. What I would like for you to do today is to study the poetry of it, in Greek and in English. Also, discuss what it means that Hesiod takes onto himself the gifts of kingship, the scepter and the "divine voice to celebrate things that shall be and things there were aforetime." Is this an usurpation, or merely a logical right?

Foreign Lit: Please use this class period to read Nikolai Gogol's short story The Overcoat. How do you interpret the ending of this story?
