CLAS1186 · Classical Studies
Morrissey College of Arts & Sciences
An introduction to the art and archaeology, cultural history, and literature of ancient Greece from the Late Bronze Age to the end of the Peloponnesian War (ca. 2000-400 BCE). Readings in the Iliad, Herodotus, and Thucydides, examine how the Trojan, Persian, and Peloponnesian Wars molded Greek civilization. While art and archaeology provide a counterpoint for the broader study of Greek culture.
