The Glory That Was Greece: Greek Art and Archaeology

by Jennifer Tobin

The ancient Greeks' intensely creative spark manifested itself in, among other things, the arts: in architecture with the creation of temples for the gods, theaters for assembly and entertainment, and tombs for the dead, in sculpture that depicted the divine ideal and human frailty, and painting that illustrated the simple patterns of daily life, the poignancy of death, and the fickleness of the gods.

I like Tobin's courses enough to want to listen to all of them. Definitely read the suggested materials if possible.
