Classical Studies 201
In this course, we study Greek mythology (including the Gods and Heroes), famous ancient battles (like the 300 Spartans versus Persia), iconic Greek art works and buildings (like the Parthenon) and an epic story of trying to get home (The Odyssey). This course offers an introduction to the subject and will help students to develop a wide range of academic skills and build an understanding of how ancient societies shaped our own. We will explore ideas such as citizenship and society, culture and identity, empire and power, conflict, and art and aesthetics.
