Unit Description

This unit will examine in detail the relationship between society and the individual in Classical Greece. It will focus on the economic, religious, political and family relationships within society in order to highlight the interdependence of individuals in the functioning of Greek daily life. Special attention will be directed at groups which were generally regarded as 'inferior' (eg slaves, the poor, women) and also the problems of conformity and non-conformity within Greek society.
