Content: The course follows the emegence and development of ancient Greek society in the four centuries that separate Homer from Alexander (roughly 700-300 b.c.e.). Within this broad chronological expanse, we will follow a number of specific themes: the character of ancient empires (Persian, Athenian, and Macedonian), the nature of ancient politics and the invention of democracy, and the relation between family and state in the Greek world. We will also, as often as possible, consult the collection of Greek art in the Carols Museum.
