The course builds on a broad survey of ethnic views in the ancient Greek world, seen primarily through the lens of myth and history, culture and religion. Together, we will explore how the Greeks conceptualised their own identity and perceived other cultures of the ancient world in terms of ethnicity and indigeneity (among other aspects). By learning about how the ancient Greeks understood kinship and difference, we will also
continually reflect on the relevance of this study to contemporary issues and debates (race, colonialism, gender, slavery).
