CLAS 302 - Mythology and Landscape of Ancient Greece and Turkey

The aim of this summer study tour is to learn about ancient Greek mythology through both readings and direct experience of the land and localities that gave rise to the myths. The basis of this program is the schedule of visits to numerous ancient Greek and/or west Turkish sites and museums located on the Greek and west Turkish mainland and Greek islands. These provide first-hand familiarity with the land and with established icons of ancient Greek art, architecture, and engineering and with related concepts of landscape and aesthetics.
