The course of Greek History aims at guiding the student in the large space-time coordinates of Greek cultural experience, contextualizing institutional, social, economic dynamics and mental pictures from Protohistoric Age and Archaic Age to Hellenistic period.

Basic knowledge about the concept of historical source, history and cultural experience of ancient Greece in the Aegean and Mediterranean civilizations background.

• Attendance is not obligatory

The course will develop through a part of methodology, a part of general knowledge of the Greek history development lines, from the Mycenaean Age to the High Hellenism and a part of thematic in-depth analysis. During the lessons the basic principles in terms of historical knowledge, research methods and the needed tools in the 'laboratory' of the historian will be provided. A path along the political-military, socio-economic, institutional and cultural Greek world will be undertaken, leaving an adequate space for deepening some central themes.
