Sports and Society in Greece and Rome

Credit: 3 hours.

Introduces the role of sports in ancient Greek and Roman society. We will cover the period from roughly 3000 B.C.E. to the sixth century C.E., from the Bronze Age to the rise of Christianity and the decline of Greek and Roman sanctuaries. Because sports touched the lives of almost everyone in ancient Greece and Rome, we will also have a chance to study the full and vibrant diversity of ancient Mediterranean societies in terms of gender, race, class, and numerous other factors that have historically received less attention than they deserve in scholarship and in the classroom.
