Ancient Greek art and archaeology: an Introduction

The Palace of Knossos, the Delphi Charioteer, the Parthenon and Venus de Milo are some of the spectacular masterpieces that we have inherited from Ancient Greece. Join us for a props- and resources-rich course exploring ancient Greek cities, monuments, vases, sculptures and more, from the gold-filled graves at Mycenae to Socrates' shoemaker's probable shop in the Athenian Agora. Revealing the social, political and cultural reasons behind this wealthy legacy will also help us reflect on how Ancient Greek art and archaeology between the Bronze Age and the Hellenistic period has shaped the Western world today.
