CLSS - 105. The Greeks

3 credit(s)
It has often been noted that the Western tradition stands upon two great pillars: the Greco-Roman and the Judeo- Christian traditions. This course will give the student a broad introduction into the culture and civilization of the Greek people and how they still influence us. Within the course students will study the broad lines of Greek history, the major literary figures and their works, the principal ideas and institutions that informed Greek society, the great achievements in art and architecture, Greek religious practice, and the ways in which the ancient Greeks live on into the present day and why they still command our attention.
