Sophomore Inquiry: Classic Greek Civilization

This course will investigate the history, art, archaeology, culture, and philosophies of Greece in the Classical period (600-100 B.C.). We examine Greek culture in terms of its influence on modern American culture, and also focus on the differences between the two societies as a means of getting a more objective look at ourselves. Greek approaches to modern issues such as diversity, democracy, education, and poverty are explored and their lessons for today's society considered.

This SINQ leads to the Classic Greek Civilization Cluster.
