HIS 333 - Barbarin & Slaves in Ancient Greece

(4 credits)
This course has two different but complementary aims: to examine the ideology of slavery in ancient Greece, with a specific focus upon Athenian evidence, and to consider how the Greeks perceived non-Greeks (barbarians), the most common victims of Greek slavery. Both examinations will require a consideration of the concept of the “Other” as it existed in Greek thought. For evidence, we shall consider representatives of slaves and barbarians in Greek literature, epigraphy, and art, specifically images on pots and in sculpture. In short, this course will introduce students to the multiplicity of representations, their purposes, complexities, contexts, and their connection, as far as con be known, with historical realities. This course may fulfill a General Education Requirement.
