| | The Ancient Greek Cultural Nexus: Art, Archaeology, Literature and Topography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18) |
 | | To gain insight into the Greek way of thought, we will read excerpts from the great mythographers Homer, Apollodorus, Pausanias, Bacchylides, Ovid, and the Homeric Hymns; entire plays by fifth century tragedians and comic poets; and whole chapters of history by Herodotus, Thucydides, and others. |
 | | Based on the experience I have had this past semester in a similar course, I can expect a gaggle of students filled with the wonder of it all: much excitement, active participation, the joy of discovery and, once they know enough, the joy of making connections between themes in mythology, history, literature, and material culture. |
 | | New York City, the Princeton Art Museum, the Walters Gallery in Baltimore, and of course, the University of Pennsylvania's Greek Gallery. |
