Schedule of Readings and Assignments
For each meeting, please come into class having read and thought about the readings assigned for that class.
Readings listed with the book icon () are from the assigned textbook, Mathisen, Ancient Mediterranean Civilizations, 3d Edition.
Everything listed under each meeting—the textbook readings, Gilgamesh, and Clouds—is fair game for the quizzes we’ll have at the start of some meetings.
