Abstract
As the Spring Undergraduate Research Day approaches, I and fellow members of my Honors 201: Interdisciplinary Studies course wish to present our research on select pieces of work from Classical Greece and Rome. Individually, we took an in-depth look at different, specific literary works composed by famous classical writers. Historians such as Seneca and Homer. In our research we were asked to craft a thesis-driven analysis of our own text. Throughout this process, we were able to discover a great deal about Greek and Roman culture. Furthermore, our research touches upon life's "big questions" and human nature. Overall, each member of our group covers a different element or aspect relating to humanism. We wish to present our findings in a way that the texts and their teachings remain relevant in today's society. (Author abstract)
