• Do you want to learn about where huge ideas came from like democracy and philosophy? • Do you want to study art and architecture that has influenced our modern tastes and designs? • Are your interested in Ancient History? • Do you want to read about gods and goddesses, heroes and villains, monsters and mythical creatures? • Do you want to study some of the greatest literature ever written? • Do you enjoy learning about different cultures and societies, religion, history, drama, literature, human psychology? • Do you want to study Component 1: The world of the hero In this component learners will study Homer’s Odyssey, as well as Virgil’s Aeneid. Learners will develop an increasingly sophisticated level of knowledge and understanding of the epics themselves, the way in which they were composed, and the religious, cultural and social values and beliefs of its society. Component group 2: Greek Theatre The drama produced in the ancient Greek theatre forms some of the most powerful literature of the ancient world and has had a profound and wide-reaching influence on modern culture. To fully understand this cultural phenomenon requires the study of not only the plays but the context in which their form and production developed. To develop this understanding this component involves the study of the physical theatre space used by the Greeks to stage their dramas and also depictions of this staging in the visual/material record. The plays studied are Sophocles’ Oedipus the King, Euripides’ Bacchae and Aristophanes’ Frogs. Component group 3: Imperial Image Augustus Caesar was, through careful management of public opinion, able to convince a society that was fundamentally anti-monarchical to turn away from its republican values and to accept the one-man rule. Through an examination of the literature and visual/material culture of the period, this component allows learners to examine the ways in which Augustus conveyed his personal brand to all social classes of Rome.
