CLAS 251E - The Ancient Greek City (Extended Study)

The extended study introduces students first hand to the physical settings where Greek urban life developed and made its fundamental contribution to western civilization. During the three weeks that student are based primarily in Athens, they observe and interpret the evidence that material culture provides for understanding the social, political, and religious institutions that shaped the ancient Greek city-state, a subject that they have studied on-campus in the course CLAS 251. The extended study places special emphasis on how material culture illuminates the ways in which these varied institutions defined the identity of an individual within the ancient Greek city. An individual’s identity is explored not only within a single polity but also within the broader Pan-Hellenic context.
