| Unit Description |
This unit is an introduction to the history and culture of ancient Greece. A wide variety of aspects of Greek society of the archaic (800-479 BC) and classical (478-323 BC) periods are considered. In addition, there is a detailed study of political events of the archaic period, up to and including the Persian Wars (480-79 BC), with special attention paid to political developments in Sparta and Athens in the sixth century BC. Emphasis is placed on literary as well as material sources of information. Students gain a sound understanding of ancient Greek culture and history, and of the ancient sources for these. |
