Greek Archaeology

Medieval and Modern Greece
Greece on Site

The study tour is designed for those who have a serious interest in learning about Greek culture, literature, language, history, art, archaeology, and topography. Many Classical Studies majors enroll in this program, which offers courses towards their graduation requirements in that area. Other students are European Studies majors, who can get credit towards their degrees from the program. Students of History often take these classes and count them towards their History major, with the pre-approval of an academic advisor. Students from the Colleges of Engineering and Business go on this trip, as do members of the Community, retired people, and emeritus professors. Participant ages have ranged from 19 to 75.

Classics 170: Greek and Roman Mythology
Heroes,Monsters, Adventures and Quests, Goddesses and Gods: the syllabus of a course in Classicl Mythology almost sounds like the description of a computer game. Yet for the Greeks and the Romans these myths were the sacred stories which recorded their history, explained their world, and supported their sense of identity as a people. Classics 170 explores the many roles of myth in Classical culture and the perennial fascination which these stories have held ever since.

Classics 470: Advanced Greek and Roman Mythology
Advanced mythology explores the various methodologies which have been developed, from antiquity through our own century, for understanding the puzzling stories we call myths. For example, we will look at Oedipus through Freud's eyes, consider how Prometheus is like the trickster figure of the North American Indians, and consider what Beauty and the Beast has to teach us about Heracles and his wife Dejanira.

HIST 327: The Roman Empire will be offered during either Summer Session I or Summer Session II by Prof. Kenneth Holum.

Note: Steven Rutledge will also offer Classics 309J: Ancient Roman Religion (from Jupiter to Jesus) at our Shady Grove Campus, and Joseph Scholten will offer a Summer Scholars course for gifted and talented secondary school students on classical explorations, but we do not yet know the time period or slots.

STUDY TOUR FOR JUNE 2004 CLAS 100/499 Greece: The Living Legacy
Pittas-Herschbach This three-week course will be taught on location in Greece. Students will be based in Athens --a modern city on the eve of the 2004 Olympiad-- and will take day trips as well as longer excursions to some of the most splendid sites and monuments of antiquity, including Mycenae, Delphi, Epidaurus, the temple of Aphaia in Aigina, Cape Sounion, Eleusis. Readings will focus on key issues (intellectual, artistic, political and philosophical) confronting Athens during the latter half of the fifth century.

Of Gods and the City: The Archaeology and History of Mainland Greece, explores ancient Greek history, art, religion, and culture through visits to sites and museums in Athens and the surrounding countryside of Attica as well as Delphi, Olympia, Corinth and Epidauros.

On the Trail of Alexander the Great: Greek Art and Architecture of the Hellenistic Age, explores the life and times of Alexander the Great. The program begins with site and museum visits in Athens before moving north to Thessalonike and Vergina. The Greek island of Samos is a stop before visiting the Turkish cities of Priene and Miletus.

Both courses are intensive, three-week programs of classroom-based seminars and a variety of field-study excursions to prominent, archaeological remains.

These intensive courses are ideal for students of the humanities who have an interest in ancient Greek history, art, religion, and culture. Additionally, life in contemporary Greece will also be discussed.

Cumae I: Goddess and Hero Cult of Latium and Campania, July 1-13

Directors: Patricia Johnston, Brandeis University, Marilyn Skinner, University of Arizona

On this study tour, we propose to visit selected cult sites, focusing on the goddesses Diana, Juno, Cybele and Isis, and the Hero cults associated with them in Latium and Campania. We will examine the original character of the local cult and its relationship to the surrounding community, changes and continuities when it became part of an overarching ìRomanî religious system, and perseverance as a sacred locale after the emergence of Christianity.

Natives and Newcomers in Southern Italy, July 15-27

Directors: Linda Fabrizio, Classical Association of the Empire State & Madeleine Henry,Iowa State

Southern Italy is distinct and distinctive in part because of the presence of the Greek Colonies. In this program we will focus on those Greek colonies, from their foundings through the conquest of Rome and their eventual enfolding into Roman imperium. We will include the interaction of the Greeks with the Italian peoples, as well as with each other, and also investigate how Greek influences persisted (and persist) in South Italy, in language, commerce and culture.

Greeks and Romans in the City: Urbanization in the Shadow of Vesuvius, July 29-August 10

Steven E. Ostrow (MIT) and Ann O. Koloski-Ostrow (Brandeis)

This program will highlight major questions of the urban planning and design that make the enchanted terrain along the Bay of Naples so rich a showcase of Greek and Roman solutions to the problems of daily life in antiquity. We will investigate Graeco-Roman approaches to colonization; the continuity of pre-Greek and pre-Roman settlements with their succeeding inhabitants; problems of functional layout and city planning; connections -- physical, social, economic -- between town and country. The splendid array of ancient Campanian sites offers an unparalleled landscape from which to delve into these questions.
