Sustainable tourism science

This course provides an introduction to the history of Ancient Greece and Greek civilization. Particular attention will be devoted to the analysis of key aspects of life in the Greek city-states (poleis), examined within their historical development, with reference to politics and institutions, society, economy, and religion. In this context, major historical phenomena will be discussed, such as the emergence of the polis, the adoption of the Greek alphabet, the Greek colonization, the birth of democracy, and the concept of Hellenism. The course will make systematic use of primary sources, both written (literary and epigraphic) and archaeological, which will be analyzed and discussed in class. The first section of the course (12 hours) will focus on defining Greek identity and the spatial and temporal framework of Greek civilization (geography and natural resources; periodization of Greek history), as well as on an introduction to the principal historical sources for the study of the ancient Greek world. The second section (30 hours) will trace the main stages in the historical development of Greece, with further exploration of selected topics.
