| CLASSIC 36C | 4TH C/HELLEN GR | KARANIKA, A. | This course examines fourth century Greece, Alexander the Great and the Hellenistic period, exploring the history, art and culture of post-classical Greek antiquity. The readings will focus on the rise of Macedon, and the formation of the Hellenistic empires until the time of Cleopatra VII. This course is a continuation of 36B and completes the series, however, students may begin the series with 36C. It is also suited for students generally interested in Classical Greek and Hellenistic History. We will learn and analyze how the ancient world changed with Alexander and his successors with a special interest on the political, social and cultural transformations, religions change, and state formation. |
| CLASSIC 45A | THE GODS | KARANIKA, A. | Classics 45A is the first part of a three-quarter course on Classical Mythology. This class will be an introduction to the most important Greek and Roman myths, their historical and religious context, various interpretations and influence upon ancient and modern art, film and literature. Some of the topics we will discuss are: the creation of the universe, relations between gods and mortals, gender and sexuality, love, marriage, death and afterlife. We will use a standard textbook, but we will also read selected passages from primary sources such as Hesiod's Theogony, Ovid's Metamorphoses and selections from Greek tragedy. The course will make regular use of ancillary visual materials, especially computer resources. The grade for this course will be based on a combination of multiple-choice quizzes and short essay exams. Classics 45A is the first part of the Classical Mythology series (45ABC), which satisfies the Humanities General Education Requirement IV. |

| CLASSIC 170 | ANCIENT ATHENS | STAFF | In this course we start with a brief look at prehistoric cave painting and megaliths, and move on to the art of the ancient Near East, Egypt, Greece and Rome, with a focus on the early cultures around the Mediterranean Sea. We study famous works of art and architecture such as the Great Pyramids and Sphinx, the Palace of Minos at Knossos, the Parthenon, the Venus de Milo and Winged Victory, Pompeii, and the Colosseum and Pantheon in Rome: a selection of the art and architecture of the past admired and studied by people for many centuries or in some instances only recently excavated. We consider how and why the peoples of antiquity created art and architecture, how the visual arts can illuminate cultural issues, and how ancient art takes on various meanings to us today. Some attention is given to archaeological methods, and the issues of ownership, conservation and presentation of ancient artifacts. |
