授業テーマ	The theme of this course is to introduce students to the classical tradition, a branch of cultural studies.
授業のねらい・到達目標	In this semester, we will read an ancient Greek myth, namely that of Hercules, and analyze how and why it reappears throughout history. Its reception in British literature will be the major focus, particularly the detective novel The Labors of Hercules, a volume of the Hercule Poirot mystery series by Agatha Christie, along with its television dramatization.
授業の方法	From oral tradition through print to video, students will be able to trace the evolution and versatility of the Hercules story as it appears in such different media and genres.
事前学修・事後学修，授業計画コメント	Regular homework will ensure proper preparation for each class, while retention of all the material covered will be evaluated via frequent quizzes. Students will also be required to write a report based on a theme related to this course, but on a specific topic of his/her choice.
