![]() |
In the bottom of the Aegean Sea a shipwreck was discovered dating to the Late Bronze Age. The goods it carried were so varied that it is impossible to identify the origin of the ship. Its cargo was truly international. In the 1300 BCE, trade was a result of diplomacy and diplomacy was regulated by religion. Humans believed that all duties were duties to the gods and all events had deity as their cause. ln this class, we will examine how the religions of Egypt, Mesopotamia and Greece shaped the ancient Mediterranean world.
Goals:
1. To familiarize students with the diversity of religious beliefs and practices in the ancient Mediterranean and to expand our understanding of religious expression in the world
2. To explore the geographic and historical setting of the Mediterranean religions
3. To foster a critical awareness of both
our personal and societal presuppositions regarding ancient versus modern religious expression
