Ancient Academy: Greek Social Life: City States, Sculptures & Socrates

Celebrate the Greek tradition! Explore the Iliad, with its epic characters Agamemnon and Achilles: a king vs. a hero, a bully vs. a thinker? Create the giant protective shield of Achilles with its universal mythology. Will you consult the Oracle of Delphi about the battle for your polis or social plans? Reason with Plato, argue ethics with Aristotle, or challenge Socrates to a battle of wits. Try your hand at Greek architecture or sculpture, and design drinking vessels or other Grecian treasures! Untangle the family tree and hierarchy of the Greek gods, as we explore the influences and intrigues of this ancient world! (No camp on July 4.)
