Abstract
This course aims to achieve three objectives: To give students a comprehensive survey of Mediterranean history from ca. 3000 B.C. to ca. A.D. 500, highlighting some of the major political, social, and cultural developments. To teach students the “historian’s craft,” that is, the method of critically evaluating primary historical sources in order to understand better the period in question and to appreciate its complexities. The course thus seeks to turn students into budding historians. To inspire students to engage in comparative historical analysis with the hope that they make valuable connections between Athenian history and our own.
