Course Homepage: No homepage submitted. The ancient Greeks are always with us, in high places and low, from the halls of our democratic institutions to the pages of the *Sports Illustrated* swimsuit edition. How can we explain their ubiquitous presence in our lives? Why won't they go away? This course explores the art and archaeology of ancient Greece, beginning in the Bronze Age (the famous Minoan and Mycenaean civilizations) through to Hellenistic times (the age of Alexander the Great). We will explore all aspects of Greek life as reflected in the materials they left behind, objects that range from mighty marble temples such as the Parthenon, to discarded drinking vessels from their parties, from cities to theaters, from houses to palaces. Such artistic and archaeological evidence allows us to consider how Greek society worked, and how they understood the relations of humans and gods, men and women, Greeks and barbarians. Having taken this course, you will understand far better just why the Greeks are so hard to forget. Requirements for the course will include attendance at lectures and weekly section meetings. Sections will be designed to stimulate discussion of particular themes and topics; for example, we will explore the nature of archaeological evidence and fieldwork techniques. We will also work with actual ancient objects from the holdings of the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology.
