Description
This programme trains you in the issues relating to the contact between the Greek world and the Near East in Classical and Hellenistic periods. You learn to use literary, historical, theological and linguistic approaches to the period in isolation and combination. All students undertake training in Ancient Greek language at a standard appropriate to their level of prior knowledge and the literature of the Eastern Greek world.
The programme then considers areas of religious, historical, literary or scientific interest in detail. You develop a strong appreciation of the mechanics of cultural contact and cultural diversity, as well as an appreciation of developments in religion, language and science, while building on your research and analytical skills.
