Greece: Drama and Math in Ancient Greece
(Upper-level Drama or Math course) How did both the dramatic arts and mathematics allow the ancient Greeks to create systems that helped them function and flourish in their changing and evolving world? Votive acts and offerings, finance and commerce, architecture and engineering all made great leaps forward. In this course, students will walk a mile (or 8.7 Stadia, where one Stadia=185 meters) in the Ancients’ shoes by visiting sites on the Greek mainland (Athens, Delphi, Epidaurus), the islands of Samos and Delos, and a day visit to Miletus, Turkey.
