Classics 3366: Greek Art and Archaeology is an introduction to Greek Art and Archaeology by way of the Trojan War. Topics covered include the Greek Bronze Age, the beginnings of Bronze Age Archaeology and the search for Troy, the relationship between visual and literary representations of the Trojan War myths in Archaic Greece, and the Trojan War in Classical literature and art. Readings include selections from the Iliad and Odyssey and Greek tragedy. The syllabus for Spring 2008 is here. Note that the Spring 2008 offering will differ substantially from the 2004 version, but most of the same topics will be covered. The web site for the course is still very much under construction.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: none at this time

More Resources for each lecture (including most handouts passed out in class) will be linked from the syllabus page.
