Good course introducing literary theory, from my professor of choice

Another neat tidbit: Luggage carts in Athens are labeled "metaphoros" (in Greek), and metaphor literally derives from that meaning, "the moving of one thing to another"

Neat trivia tidbit: the letter "w" has been preserved through the history of written language from the Egyptian hieroglyphic for water, written "w" as a representation of the wavy surface of water, and subsequently maintaining that meaning and shape in alphabetic languages in words like... "water".

Enjoy this professor's courses
