ARTH 11.01 Art in Ancient Greece: Temples, Gods, Heroes
This course treats chronologically the history of Greek art from its beginnings in the Bronze Age to the end of the fifth century B.C.E. The principal monuments of architecture, sculpture, and painting will be examined in terms of style, theme, and context. We will explore how Greek art came to serve Greek society, while some attention will also be given to the ways in which the classical tradition has persistently served later cultures.
May be taken in partial fulfillment of the major in Classical Languages and Literatures, the major in Classical Archaeology, and the major in Classical Studies.
