Greek Civilization from Athens to Alexander

Post date: Apr 03, 2012 7:16:14 PM

I will host a live class at 1:00 pm MT on Thursday, 4-5 on the topic of Greek Civilization. From the beginning of Democracy in the 7th century BC to the conquest of Persia, Egypt, and Asia by Alexander in the 3rd century BC, the civilization that dominated the Mediterranean World and set the pattern for Western Civilization was the Greek Civilization. From Architecture, mathematics, literature, science, philosophy, and of course, government, many of our modern institutions are modeled after those set up by the Greeks. We will begin with Cliesthenes in Athens setting up the world's first democracy, we'll cover both the Persian and Peloponnesian Wars, and we'll finish up with Alexander the Great taking over nearly all of his world.
