Course Objective
- The Greek culture and civilization has been
highly influential throughout the millennia of
its long history. From the time that Epic poetry
was first composed in order to preserve in the
memory of mankind the superhuman deeds of gods
and heroes (c. 8th century BC), the Greek
literary presence has been continuous and
uninterrupted. - Classical Greece was the birth-place of
literature, drama, art, philosophy, and science.
Ever since then, the remarkable achievements of
the Greeks have become part of the heritage of
the world. - Under the Byzantine Empire, Greek civilization
adapted itself to a new religion and system of
government, and maintained the momentum of its
long history with remarkable literary and
artistic achievements.

Course Objective
- From the creation of the Modern Greek state at
the beginning of the 19th century, Greek
civilization has been able to re-define its
identity once more, continue its traditions with
vigor and energy, and with further intellectual
and cultural achievements. - The purpose of the course is to explore several
important aspects of this remarkable phenomenon
from antiquity up to the present day. This is an
interdisciplinary course that approaches Greek
civilization and culture from different angles,
and is intended to cover a representative variety
of issues such as, politics, philosophy,
literature, art, history, economics, and culture,
so that students acquire an all-round
understanding of Greek civilization.
