Introduction

Here is a unique course designed as an intensive three-week exploration, offered by the leading research institute and conference host in the historic urban core of Athens, Greece. Dr. David Wick, a classical urban historian, and other lecturers chosen by ATINER, teach the classical Athenian “journey through history” while sharing the city’s streets, historical sites, and unique collections with you. Reading parallel in original sources, you will mix the personal experience of the re-captured, re-told ancient events and characters in a context impossible to re-create elsewhere. Build your own understanding, flavor, feel for history that no mere classroom can offer. You can choose to request an undergraduate or graduate level of work (credit from your own university/college or a certificate of completion appropriate to the level chosen given by ATINER). But, though you can customize, we will focus together on shows, experiencing, discovering the modern and ancient history, culture, and cityscape of the iconic Greek polis – artifacts, living locations to bring the classical culture alive, the clues from archeology, narrative backgrounds, from battlefields to craftwork. The first of the three weeks follows the creation of Classical Athens to its crucible testing in the Persian Wars; the second, the “Golden Age” of Pericles and the war that cost it an empire, but not its schools; the last – its transformation of Mediterranean culture through its students, visitors and exports, from Alexander to Cicero, Caesar to Hadrian.

Athens Institute For Education And Research (ATINER)

ATINER’s mission is to act as a forum where academics and researchers from all over the world can meet to exchange ideas on their research and discuss the future developments in their disciplines. Homer (3000 years ago) was the first to call such meetings symposiums, a word that today is used by many languages to describe academic meetings. In Classical Athens of the 5th Century BCE, such academic meetings reached their colophon of glory, especially those with Socrates’ participation. The epic ergo of Plato’s Symposium can be considered as the archives (book proceedings) of just one of many such academic meetings. Read less
