Greece: Antiquity to Today

3 Credits · Level: Undergraduate

This course will explore the cultural history of Greece and the broader Mediterranean basin (and beyond) from antiquity to today. The course will provide an in-depth study of the material, visual, and textual cultural production of the region across nearly three millennia in the context of socio-political and intellectual history (from Classical antiquity to Byzantium and to the establishment of the modern Greek state). Questions of cultural formation, change and continuity, identity and nation-building will be central considerations of the course.
