Overview
This travel-study program will explore the Bronze Age societies that occupied Crete, the Peloponnese and the Greek mainland. These societies fall under the modern names of the Minoans (after, Minos, the legendary King of Knossos) and Mycenaeans (after the site located approximately 15 km from the Bay of Argos between Mt. Ayios Ilias and Mt. Zara). The excursion will combine visits to archaeological sites and museums with readings from primary and secondary sources about the societies and their influence on subsequent cultures.
