What you'll learn
Students will acquire familiarity with the three main ancient Aegean civilizations' most well-known artworks and cultural identities.
Requirements
Some knowledge of prior art history courses (Prehistoric, Mesopotamian, Arabian, and Egyptian) will help, but it's not essential.
Description
This course covers the art history of four ancient Aegean civilizations: Neolithic Helladic, Cycladic, Minoan, and Mycenaean. Already "lost civilizations" by the time that Homer wrote down the oldest Greek epics, the art and culture which we look at in this course are the distant ancestors of Greek civilization. If you want to learn more about the Minoan Snake Goddess, the Treasury of Atreus, or the Mask of Agamemnon, this is the course for you!
