Picturing Archaic Greece

Description

This course examines a wide range of visual images from the archaic period in Greece, with particular reference to vase painting, in an attempt to gain a deeper understanding of the time from the seventh into the early fifth century for which there is little textual documentation. It will be of value to those interested in the history of art, archaeology and the history of ideas, as well as ancient history and classical studies.
