Students
in this course will explore the social, political, economic and
artistic contributions of the Greeks to western civilization, with
a focus on the community of ancient Athens. Using literary, historical
and archaeological methodologies, students will examine the history
of Greece from the Mycenaean Bronze Age, to the Homeric era in the
8th century BCE, to the preeminence of Athens in the 5th century.
Through readings, discussions and essays, students will demonstrate
proficiency in the details that comprise Greek history, and an understanding
of such broad topics as the elegance of archaic Greek civilization,
relations among Greek city-states and with foreign nations, social
and political institutions, imperialism, the golden age of Greek
literature, and the rise of Athenian imperialism. For further comment
on the parameters of this course, read T. Martin's Introduction
to the Historical Overview in Perseus. |
