Many of you have studied ancient Greece and know the Iliad and the Odyssey or have read Plato’s Republic. Others have visited Greece as tourists and swum off its beautiful island beaches or visited its ancient ruins and Byzantine churches. Now, this course will tell you who the modern Greeks are, how Greece became a modern nation state and what the Greeks suffered for over six hundred years in building their democratic nation.
Class is limited to 15 participants
