  • ""Covering the eleven centuries from the end of the Neolithic period to the conquests of Alexander the Great, Professor McInerney traces the complex web of links between our present and its Mediterranean origins.""
  • "Why do the ancient Greeks occupy such a prominent place in conceptions of Western culture and identity? The Greeks are a source of much that we esteem: democracy, philosophy, tragedy, epic and lyric poetry, history-writing, ideals of athletic competition, aesthetic sensibilities, and more. Spanning roughly 1,000 years, the lectures cover the Late Bronze Age (1500 B.C.E.) to the time of Alexander the Great in the late 4th century (400 B.C.E.). Greek civilization experienced a period of magnificent achievement, and then plunged into darkness, from which blossomed a second flowering of that civilization, giving us the foundation of our own."
  • "Lectures introduce the audience to the world of classical Athens, described in the histories of Heroditus and Thucydides and the dialogues of Plato."@en
