ANHS1600: Ancient Greece: Societies, Concepts, Cultures
2024 unit information
European culture, ideas, institutions and practices - literary genres, art, philosophy, historiography, democracy, political society and theory, war, law, science, mathematics, medicine, sport - the list is long - all have their beginnings in Ancient Greece. In this introductory unit basic foundations will be laid for the study of the Ancient Greeks and their world. Focus will be less upon events and individuals and more on the themes that run through the forms of Greek thought and society from the early Archaic period (750 BCE) to the beginning of the Hellenistic period after the death of Alexander the Great (300 BCE).
