Course Content (Syllabus)
The early historical (1000-700 BC) and Archaic (700-480 BC) period includes the centuries when the Greek world gradually formed and evolved. From the 10th to the 8th century BC, there is a recovery in Greece as well as new forms of social and political organisation. The great impetus occurred in the second half of the 8th century BC when the city-states developed and the Greeks sailed in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea and established colonies. Within this framework, the political and cultural life grew and advanced and is reflected in various areas of the material culture. The course examines issues related to the birth and growth of the city-state, the establishment and organisation of local and panhellenic sanctuaries, urban planning, burial practices, the evolution of architecture, sculpture, pottery, metalworking, miniature art. The relations of the Greeks with their neighbours are also studied while questions on the interpretation of political and social structures are discussed as well as issues of economic and social organisation. In addition, students would have the opportunity to practice and focus on particular topics by visiting archaeological sites and museums.
