The Glory that was Greece

Catalog description

From Homer to Alexander, the Greeks of antiquity made their mark on the world both of their own time and of the present. While many know the names of great philosophers and artists, such as Plato and Sophocles, few are acquainted with the historical circumstances that often served to inspire these founders of Western civilization. Through original historical and literary texts, this course will help students better to understand the complex context of military prowess, intellectual curiosity, and artistic inspiration that created the glory that was Greece.
