1 CLASSICS 150g FALL 2008 THE GREEKS AND THE WEST PROF. VINCENT FARENGA Goals: What Will You Learn? 1. You ll acquire a solid understanding of what the ancient Greeks achieved in government, warfare, philosophy, literature, drama, art and architecture over nearly 1500 years; 2. You ll understand how these achievements developed a western power model whose cultural values and ideas still shape western societies and policies today; 3. You ll learn to interpret complex texts (epic, lyric poetry, tragedy, history, philosophy, political theory) and to compare Greek achievements to those of today s world. General Education Requirement (Category 1: Cultures and Civilizations I) This course offers a broad, conceptual introduction to the ancient civilization that has most influenced modern European and North American (= western ) cultural values. The Greeks will help us recognize the values of westernization that are at work in the globalization that is transforming our world. These are some of the key values and developments we ll examine: 1. In politics, we ll understand why the Greeks formed small-scale, independent communities that stressed political relations of equality among male citizens. We ll examine reasons why these republican and democratic states distrusted monarchies and yet, through empire-building (imperialism), eventually developed into monarchies. 2. We ll ask why Greek states promoted individualism and self-determination for citizens and valued dominant individuals (heroes, generals, political leaders) over the social group. We ll also examine how these states made the individual glory of great men and male citizens possible by exploiting women, slaves and foreigners. 3. We ll see how the Greeks favored innovation not just in politics but in warfare, thought (philosophy), storytelling (literature, theater), and the arts (painting, sculpture, architecture). 4. We ll trace how the Greek used aggression to foster competition among equals but also oppression of inferiors through gender discrimination, slavery, and imperialism. We ll understand how they created the split between West East by rigorously distinguishing themselves from non-greeks (barbarians). At the same time they eventually created cosmopolitan societies where Greeks and barbarians lived side-by-side. Course Requirements 1

5 Week 5 Sep 22 QUIZ THIS WEEK IN DISCUSSION SECTIONS (45 min.) GREECE IN THE ARCHAIC PERIOD ( BC) After the Dark Age the Greeks reinvented the state in a form very different from the Bronze Age. The city-state (polis) appeared c. 750 BC due to a unique cluster of ecological, economic, and political realities.

Athens leads the way as the 5
6 first western power to accommodate both democracy and imperialism. Its version of western values uses humanistic philosophy in social, intellectual and artistic life to justify its overseas empire.
