HIST 312 offers a general introduction to the political and cultural history of Ancient Greece from the Early Bronze Age until the conquest of Greece by Rome. This course will examine the development of ancient Greece and its institutions on the mainland and around the neighboring Aegean Sea through both the textual sources and the archaeological remains. Topics addressed will include the emergence of social hierarchy and the establishment of urban society, the development of art and architecture, literature and drama, myth and religion, and philosophy and democracy. Throughout the course we will also highlight the connectivity between Greece and the rest of the Mediterranean, as well as the mythologized role of Hellenism in the development of “Western Culture.” Although this course is about Ancient Greece, students are encouraged to consider the ways that the past can inform on the present, as well as the role of modern agendas in the exploration and appropriation of the past.

The Wiki assignment will be the major research assignment of the quarter. Students will be expected to add/review/reorganize content on one of the available articles, as well as add images or graphics if possible. Topics selected will focus on individuals of the ancient world (artists, politicians, historical figures, religious or military leaders), as well as other important aspects of life in the ancient world (laws, festivals, aspects of daily life). Students will also participate in peer-review of their colleagues’ contributions (each student will review two contributions). At the end of the project students will also be responsible for submitting a short reflection on the exercise, as well as a research question, hypothesis, and short outline of a research project related to the Wikipedia topic.
