| Title: | Sex & Power in Ancient Greece |
|---|---|
| Course Section Number: | HIS-210-01 |
| Department: | History |
| Description: | This course will examine ancient Greek notions of sex, gender, sexuality, identity and their links to power. In particular, our attention will be concentrated on the prevailing views from the Greek Archaic to the Hellenistic period (circa 600 to 31 B.C.E.) with a particular focus on Classical Athens. Using a mixture of ancient sources, material culture, and modern critical evaluations, we will consider how the sexuality and gender of individuals were affected and framed by culture, looking at their family relations, class, status, occupation, location, and access to power. |
