Course Description:
This course surveys the developments cultures of ancient Greece, beginning with that region's Bronze Age in 3000 B.C.E. and ending with the death of the Greco-Egyptian queen Cleopatra near the end of the 1st century B.C.E. Highlights include discussion of the politics of each era, including Athens' democratic experiment, and the roles of gender in society. We'll use primary sources, like inscriptions, literature, and material culture, to trace these cultural developments. Finally, we'll also look at the re-figurations of ancient Greece by moderns and relevance to us now.
