What the college says

All societies have different cultures and values which are often a source of conflict. This subject studies what it means to be ‘civilised’ through literature, philosophy, history, art and belief systems. The evidence of ancient Greece and Rome provides a vibrant picture of the values of the classical world, which has had such a profound influence on modern society. Module 1 The World of the Hero The concept of the ‘hero’ has changed throughout time usually to meet the values of a particular age. This module looks at the link between the values of the individual and how we reconcile them with the needs of community and politicians. Propaganda and ‘spin’ with mythology and monsters! One off the earliest pieces of literature in the Western world follows the journey of Odysseus on his return from the Trojan War. An ‘Odyssey’ has come to symbolise the greatest test man can face challenging wit, compassion, intelligence and physical strength, asking the question how would we, as mortals measure up? More importantly, we consider what really matters in our lives. Module 2 Greek Drama The ancient Athenians believed that going to the theatre was so important for personal development and community strength that they gave free tickets to the poor. Greek tragedies take controversial and often shocking material as their subject matter, raising profound and challenging questions about what we value. Comedy, as today, provides a vibrant picture of the life of an ordinary citizen. Module 3 A
