Goals

By the end of this course, you will:

  • identify mutiforms of Greek myths represented in our surviving literary sources
  • recognize the historical context for the Greek mythological handbook by Apollodorus and the Latin mythological handbook attributed to Hyginus
  • articulate how scholia to the Iliad (scholarly notes in our extant manuscripts) can inform us about multiforms not preserved in literary texts
  • write short programs in the Julia language to recognize named entities (proper nouns and adjectives), analyze social networks, and cluster texts in groups based on similarities of vocabulary
  • design tests to assess code you plan to write before actually writing code
  • specify code requirements clearly enough to generate candidate code using ChatPT
  • apply your predefined tests to code generated by ChatGPT
