This course is an introduction to the history and culture of this fascinating but paradoxical civilization. We will laugh with the ancient comedians and think with the ancient philosophers. We will also confront the contradictions of this complex society and admire its intellectual and artistic achievements. There will be approximately 50-80 pages of reading per week, three short papers, five quizzes (during sections) and a final examination. No previous knowledge is required.
