GENERAL INFORMATION

Lecturer: Dr. Matthew Trundle, OK514, phone 463-6785 [email protected] Time: Class hours: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday 3-4 pm plus 1 hour tutorial per week (TBA) Place: HMLT105 (Hugh MacKenzie Lecture Theatre 5) Notices Any additional information (terms lists, changes, unofficial exam results, etc) will be posted on the Classics notice board opposite Old Kirk room 505. Blackboard The course is supported by the university learning system on the internet called Blackboard. You can enter the Blackboard site through the university's frontpage via Current Students. Overheads for the week's lectures will appear in the week or the weekend prior to their delivery. You may find it useful to copy these and bring them to the relevant lecture as a guide or to save you writing down key words or phrases. I reserve the right, however, to make changes to any and all lecture material up to the last minute before a lecture is delivered and so cannot always guarantee that identical notes will appear on blackboard as appear in class. A brief synopsis of the lecture material outlining the principal themes of what I thought that I said will appear in the week that follows the lecture. Please take some time to survey the CLAS 104 site on Blackboard for all the tools available, in particular the discussion board where you can engage in debates about Greek history on-line with me, the tutors and each other. Please note, however, that you are strongly advised to attend all classes as Blackboard is only meant to support the specific material delivered in this course. Tutorials Tutorials (which are compulsory) will start in the second week of the course and will be held on most weeks. Tutorial groups will be arranged during the first week of the course. Lists will be posted at the start of the second week at the latest on the Classics Programme’s notice board. Tutors The tutors can be contacted during their office hours (TBA) in the Classics Programme (5th Floor of the Old Kirk building) or through Matthew Trundle, the course coordinator. Course Aims This course is a survey of Greek history from 1600 BCE – 150 CE, although much emphasis is given to the period from 750 BCE - 322 BCE. The sources and methods used in studying the Greek past play a significant role throughout in order to provide students with the tools to study Greek history on their own. The narrative of Greek historical events provides the backdrop for discussions concerning intellectual, social, economic, political and military developments in the ancient Greek world.

Course Objectives The objective of this course is that the student should understand the main academic themes and problems that are integral to studying ancient Greek history. Of utmost importance in this is the ability to understand and analyse primary evidence (ancient texts, coins, archaeological sites, pottery etc.) and process the main trends of modern historiography, for example, Oswyn Murray’s Early Greece, which is itself based upon primary evidence. Course examinations and written assignments will test each student’s ability to do these things. Successful students should be able to discuss primary evidence and be familiar with methods of its analysis and the many problems of reconstructing Greek history. They should have a broad outline of the changes which historians have identified in the Greek world from 1600 BCE - 30 BCE. From this understanding they will be in a position to study Greek (and ancient) history and culture more independently, and in greater detail, in the years to come. Texts and Readings There is no single textbook that alone can and does do justice to Greek history. Ancient Greek history is constantly evolving and ideas about the past are always in flux. As with the Internet (see below) secondary materials on the ancient world require you to be critical and thoughtful about the validity of the information they contain. For these reasons, CLAS 104 has no required secondary textbook that serves as a single resource for information about Greek history. Nevertheless you are strongly encouraged to make use of the books in the further reading section below in order to assist you in studying and understanding the key events and problems relating to Greek history. Trust no one until you have sought the truth for yourself! Primary Source Material (Required Texts) Primary sources are ancient sources (perhaps written texts, perhaps archaeological). They need not themselves be accurate about those things they report, but their proximity in time to the events and people they describe give them an important status as evidence about the ancient world and are the principal medium by which we understand the past today. Note that the abbreviations in the square brackets below are used in the lecture schedule at the rear of this handout to indicate relevant reading material for each lecture.

Further Reading Secondary sources are not ancient. They were written by people (like you and me) who did not live in the ancient world, but who researched aspects of the past using primary materials. Their conclusions need to be checked against the ancient evidence (the primary sources). Trust no one! The following textbooks are not required, but reading (one or some of) them is strongly recommended for a better understanding of the Greek world.

REQUIREMENTS Required Assessment Mandatory Course Requirements There are no mandatory course requirements. Passing the Course In order to pass this course, a student must obtain an overall mark of at least 50% from the combination of assessed work. Students must achieve this final grade for a combination of marks achieved in the in-term work and the final exam. 1. Tutorials Tutorials are an integral part of this course. They are your opportunity to discuss specific evidence for the Greek world amongst yourselves in an academic environment. The exams will reflect some of the material discussed in these tutorials. There are ten tutorials over the span of the course. Please bring your Course Materials with you to each tutorial and ensure you have done the reading for that week’s discussion (see Schedule below). Times and venues for the tutorials will be posted on the Classics noticeboard on the fifth floor of Old Kirk, opposite OK505. Please sign up for a tutorial as soon as possible and if you are unable to attend any of the tutorials offered, see the Programme Administrator, Hannah Webling, in OK508 as soon as possible. N.B. Attendance requirements: your tutor will record attendance and participation in the tutorials. If there are special circumstances why you failed to attend tutorials you must consult the course organiser to arrange for alternative work to be undertaken. 2. Commentary: Due Thursday 5th April 2007 20% A commentary of 1000 words (approx. 4 pages, double spaced, with 2.5 centimetre margins and a 12 point font) on one 15-30 line section chosen from the following readings found in the course materials (see CM 30-31 for example). The commentary should analyse and comment upon the importance of the document as a source for studying ancient history. For a guideline please see the discussion of gobbets pages 30 and 31 of the course materials and the note below this paragraph. Discuss your choice of document with your tutor or the course organiser. You must choose to analyze a minimum of six or a maximum of twelve lines only from any one of the following readings in the Course Materials: 1. Homer's poetry 2. Solon's poetry 3. Inscription concerning the foundation of Cyrene 4. Herodotus on the life of Cleomenes 5. Inscription of the Great King concerning Apollo's gardeners /priests 6. Inscription of the Great King concerning peoples he rules Writing Up Gobbets for Commentary (See especially CM 30-31) In one of the assignments, and the final exam, you will be required to write commentaries on gobbets. Writing a good gobbet is an exercise in being concise and

Page 6: CLAS 104 - wgtn.ac.nz

6

complete: you want to show you grasp the full significance of the passage, and you want to do it succinctly. Never duplicate any information already found in the gobbet, and never use the gobbet as a springboard for an essay style answer. Rather, place the gobbet in it historical context and note the significance of its content, then turn to analysing the information and commenting upon it. Generally speaking, you want to identify the gobbet, explain its importance, and then make inferences from it based on your knowledge of the subject. Here is an example taken from Herodotus:

They are free – yes – but not entirely free; for they have a master, and that master is Law, which they fear much more than your subjects fear you. Whatever this master commands, they do; and his command never varies: it is never to retreat in battle, however great the odds, but always stand firm, and to conquer or die. (Hdt. 7.104; 477)

a) Supplement the information in the gobbet with relevant information. Do not merely replicate the information of the gobbet. You might start by indicating that Demaratus, the exiled Spartan king, was made to say this to Xerxes before the battle at Thermopylae in 480. Xerxes is astonished that the Spartans would stand up to his imperial army--outnumbered woefully as they are--in the absence of a master with a whip to keep them in line. We find the same attitude expressed in Aeschylus’ Persians, written perhaps 50 years before Herodotus’ Histories--and this raises questions about the source for Herodotus’ episode in Book 7. b) Analyse the information in the gobbet. Xerxes presumes that fear of a powerful person is the only force that motivates an army, and Herodotus uses Demaratus to make the point that freedom requires discipline and obedience to law rather than fear of a master such as the great king. Nomos--law or custom--is “king” for the Greeks and serves as the force which maintains their freedom. The passage places the ethics of despotism against those of the polis and thus the rule of law versus the rule of a despot. c) Comment: The Spartans cultivated an image as the pre-eminent hoplites of Greece, and Herodotus uses Demaratus to further this image. All Greeks considered their method of battle, the heavily armed phalanx, superior to the lighter more mobile tactics of the Persians and appropriate to free citizens in a polis, as opposed to the “slaves” of a Persian “despot.” The battle of Thermopylae, in which a few hundred hoplites held an army of 50,000 or more at narrow pass for 3 days helped reinforce this sense of superiority. N.B.: This is not the only way to answer the question, nor must every good answer do the three things listed above, supplement, analyse and comment. You might spend more time discussing the source of this gobbet - where for instance Herodotus got this information about the conversation and how accurate it might be. Why did he present the information the way he did? How does the passage emphasise his biases and larger purpose for the Histories? By the same token, the analysis section could have discussed in further detail the differences between the Greek and Persian modes of war--leadership, organization, tactics,. The point, however, is to stay focused and to say as much as possible that is relevant in a brief compass. Too involved a discussion of the Greek and Persian War would lead you far afield. 3. 10% Short Answer Test (Week 10, Tutorial 8) 10%

Page 7: CLAS 104 - wgtn.ac.nz

7

This short test will be conducted in tutorial number 8 (week 10) and administered by your tutor. It will consist of two short answer questions worth 5% each covering material concerning sources and methodology from Greek history as a whole. It will give you a good idea of the kind of short questions that will appear in the final exam. Do not spend a great deal of time revising for this test as the questions will be mostly generic (although in the final exam questions may be more specific than the ones asked in this test). The test will last only twenty minutes at the beginning of this tutorial. What to Expect From Short Answer Questions These short answer questions will focus upon sources, theories and methods concerning the study of the ancient Greek world. For example a question in this section might ask you to name three ancient writers whose, work still survives, who wrote about the life of Alexander the Great and give a specific example of how each of their accounts differs from others. 4. Essay Due: Friday 25th May 2007 30% One essay is required in this course. It should contain 2000 words (8 pages, double spaced, with 2.5 centimetre margins and a 12 point font) including footnotes or endnotes. Completed essays should be placed in the assignment box outside OK508 no later than 5p.m. on Friday 25th May 2007. Do not push essays under the doors of Classics staff members. There are twelve topics for essays and these can be found below. Under special circumstances extensions are available. Please consult with the course organiser at least one week prior to the due date for an extension (by close of business on Friday 19th May 2007). In view of the date for the completion of the essay and in line with traditional policy, essays should be returned to students 48 hours prior to the exam. Late essays will be penalised by 10% a day.

TWELVE ESSAY TOPICS 1: Was Thucydides right in his assessment of the origins of the Great

Peloponnesian War? 2: How were the Greek allied cities able to defeat the Persian invasion in 480

and 479 BC? 5: Why was Philip of Macedon able to achieve what no individual had

previously achieved in the Greek world? 6: The Hellenistic Kings have been called nation builders. Analyse a

specific kingdom and show how its rulers built a kingdom and assess the success of their efforts.

7: Discuss the problems associated with our understanding of the creation of

the Athenian Empire between 478 and 412 BC. 8: How democratic was classical Athenian society? 9: How useful is Homer to understanding Dark Age Greek society?

Page 8: CLAS 104 - wgtn.ac.nz

11: What was the principal cause of the colonization of the Mediterranean Basin by the Greeks between 775 and 500 BC?

12: Discuss the factors that led to the rise and fall of tyrannies within Greek

communities in the Greek world. Were they part of a "natural" process of political development towards more democratic government or something to which the Greek communities were always prone?

Some Guidelines for Writing Essays The aim of an essay is to sustain a reasoned argument, using evidence (or your interpretation of evidence) to make your case about a substantial topic in Greek History. You want to show you have a command of the evidence bearing on the issue, and that you can marshal it to make a clear, coherent argument. Simplicity, clarity, and forcefulness are required in an essay, and the line between these virtues and their corresponding vices is sometimes easy to cross: avoid the tendencies to oversimplify, to drag in unrelated evidence, and to repeat yourself. A nice rule of thumb: Introduction - start with a thesis statement, “what you will write and how you propose to proceed,” follow this with The Argument “argue the thesis that you have proposed in the introduction, point by point,” (organisation is crucial here and it is always useful to work out a plan before you begin to write) and then Conclusion - restate your thesis, “write what you have demonstrated,” perhaps in slightly altered form, showing how your careful consideration of the matter has prompted you to adjust your opening thesis. It is important to stay on topic and not to digress or “waffle.” Examiners like to be led through an argument simply and concisely. Essays are an opportunity to gather evidence on a problem, develop a discussion of it, and to make persuasive inferences and arguments about it. The essay is neither a book report nor a mosaic of scholarly opinion culled from the literature on a subject. Emphasis falls not on the gathering of other people’s ideas, but on the formulation of your own. Essays will be graded for clarity, quality of argument, thoroughness, and if at all possible originality. The Classics Study Guide is now available from the Student Notes Distribution Centre, and is a very good investment. It will answer many questions you might have about preparing written assignments in Classics courses. Here are some basic things to keep in mind. Quotations: Quotations from primary sources should be placed right in the text, not in a footnote. For instance:

Thucydides (1.1) claims he started writing his Histories as soon as the war began.

Or:

By the fifth century money had become an important part of warfare in the Greek world (Thucydides, 1.11-2).

If you cite the Course Materials, abbreviate it CM and give the page number: (CM 123), although it would be ideal if you could again cite the author and work as well. Quotes over three lines should be indented and placed in the text without quotation marks and the primary source should be given in parentheses at the end. For example:

Page 9: CLAS 104 - wgtn.ac.nz

Plutarch (Lycurgus, 1) was aware that the very existence of Lycurgus was controversial as he stated in opening his life of the statesman:

Concerning the life of Lycurgus the Lawgiver, nothing can be said that is not disputed, since indeed there are different accounts of his birth, his travels, his death and above all, of his work as law-maker and statesman; and there is least agreement among historians as to the time in which the man lived.

Citations and Bibliography The citation of modern authorities (secondary sources) is another matter. The social science method common now in scholarly journals of all kinds is the most succinct. It requires a certain bibliographical format as well. Here is an example:

As Clifford Geertz (1973, 205) writes, “Ideology bridges the emotional gap between things as they are and as one would have them be, thus insuring the performance of roles that might otherwise be abandoned in despair or apathy.”

Alternatively you could cite this way:

As has been argued (Geertz 1973, 205) "ideology bridges the emotional gap… There is no need for Latin abbreviations--op. cit., loc. cit., ibid.--etc. Now if Geertz has two or more items in your bibliography from 1973, then the first one you cite is called Geertz (1973), the second one is called Geertz (1973a) and so on. In your bibliography you enter…

Geertz, C. (1973) The Interpretation of Cultures. New York: Basic Books. You need to enter every source you have consulted in your bibliography, whether you have cited it or not. A bibliography is not meant to impress, but to inform. Include only items that you have read and have influenced your paper. If you use someone else’s ideas you must cite the source. This is fundamental precept of scholarly morality. Changing the wording of someone else’s ideas and presenting them as your own is plagiarism, a very serious offence: if in doubt, always cite your source. For primary sources, you need not follow this convention. For instance:

Plutarch. The Rise and Fall of Athens. Ian Scott-Kilvert trans. Penguin 1960. Using and Citing The Internet in CLAS 104 The Internet is a very useful resource for studying ancient history and many historical sites can be found through the Classics website at www.vuw.ac.nz/classics. Like any resource base, however, it is also full of useless and erroneous information. It is more prone to contain sites produced by people whose work has not been reviewed by scholars of the ancient Greek world and so the information found therein may well not be of value. When using the Internet to study the Greek world always be critical and analytical of what you are reading. Please be careful in using and believing all the information that you find on the web. When citing information on the web it is never enough to cite only the URL address as www.ancient-world.com – you must cite all

Page 10: CLAS 104 - wgtn.ac.nz

10

of the following information including the URL. This includes: the author of the text, the title of the piece, the chapter, verse or page number of the section to which you are referring, the publisher of the website and the date that the site was updated with the information to which you are referring.

Failure to cite in a footnote any and all of this information will result in your essay being down graded by a whole grade point.

5. Three Hour Final Exam 40% The final exam tests your cumulative knowledge of the course. It will be composed of short answer questions related to sources, methods and theories about the Greek world. There will be gobbets for commentary from the tutorial readings found in the Course Materials and the required primary texts, and essays on aspects of the Greek world. The final exam is worth 40% of your total grade in the course. It is a 3 hour exam. The final exam will feature material from the whole of the course:

(1) Short answer questions.

(2) Gobbets for commentary.

(3) Essays.

As the exam’s aim is to test what you have learned, as opposed to testing what you do not know, each section will provide a number of choices. Each aspect of the exam will have been met before in the course. Workload There is a great deal to understand in this course, names, places, ideas and events, and students should be prepared for an average of approximately twelve hours of work per week, including class hours. It will all be worthwhile in the end! Marking and Overdue Assignments It is our policy to return marked work to students within two weeks of receipt. Special circumstances may result in failure to do this. The course essay should be marked and returned 48 hours prior to the final exam. The course organizer reserves the right to mark work without comments and to reduce the grade that the work receives.

General Policy and Procedure Students should familiarise themselves with the University’s policies and statutes, particularly the Assessment Statute, the Personal Courses of Study Statute, the Statute on Student Conduct and any statutes relating to the particular qualifications being studied; see the Victoria University Calendar available in hard copy or under ‘About Victoria’ on the VUW home page at www.vuw.ac.nz. Student and staff conduct The Statute on Student Conduct together with the Policy on Staff Conduct ensure that members of the University community are able to work, learn, study and participate in the academic and social aspects of the University’s life in an atmosphere of safety and respect. The Statute on Student Conduct contains information on what conduct is prohibited and what steps are to be taken if there is a complaint. For information about complaint procedures under the Statute on Student Conduct, contact the Facilitator and Disputes Advisor or refer to the statute on the VUW policy website at: www.vuw.ac.nz/policy/studentconduct The Policy on Staff Conduct can be found on the VUW website at: www.vuw.ac.nz/policy/staffconduct Academic grievances If you have any academic problems with your course you should talk to the tutor or lecturer concerned; class representatives may be able to help you in this. If you are not satisfied with the result of that meeting, see the Head of School or the relevant Associate Dean; VUWSA Education Coordinators are available to assist in this process. If, after trying the above channels, you are still unsatisfied, formal grievance procedures can be invoked. These are set out in the Academic Grievance Policy which is published on the VUW website at: www.vuw.ac.nz/policy/academicgrievances Academic integrity and plagiarism Academic integrity is about honesty – put simply it means no cheating. All members of the University community are responsible for upholding academic integrity, which means staff and students are expected to behave honestly, fairly and with respect for others at all times. Plagiarism is a form of cheating which undermines academic integrity. The University defines plagiarism as follows:

The presentation of the work of another person or other persons as if it were one’s own, whether intended or not. This includes published or unpublished work, material on the Internet and the work of other students or staff.

Page 12: CLAS 104 - wgtn.ac.nz

12

It is still plagiarism even if you re-structure the material or present it in your own style or words.

Note: It is however, perfectly acceptable to include the work of others as long as that is acknowledged by appropriate referencing.

Plagiarism is prohibited at Victoria and is not worth the risk. Any enrolled student found guilty of plagiarism will be subject to disciplinary procedures under the Statute on Student Conduct and may be penalized severely. Consequences of being found guilty of plagiarism can include:

• an oral or written warning • cancellation of your mark for an assessment or a fail grade for the course • suspension from the course or the University.

Lecture Schedule 2007 The texts assigned below should be read in preparation for each lecture or tutorial. Although only passages from the major Greek historians are assigned for each session, you are required to read all references shown in bold type: Course Materials (CM), Herodotus (Hdt), Thucydides (Thuc) and Xenophon (Xen) and these will provide gobbets for commentary in the exams. You will certainly be asked to demonstrate knowledge of these texts in the final examination. Be aware that the amount of required (rather than simply recommended) reading peaks at the mid-course break so it would be wise to read ahead from the first weeks of the course. Synopses and the overheads for each lecture will be posted on the Internet through Blackboard.
