" Athens, the eye of Greece, mother of arts and eloquence"

John Milton (1608-1674)

After leaving Paris, we will take a flight to Athens, Greece, which will be our home for the next two weeks. During this time, Dr. Minniear will begin the first half of Culture and Values: An Introduction to the Humanities which will concentrate on the contributions of the Greeks to Western civilization. Numerous site visits are planned, including Mycenae, Corinth, Epidaurus, Olympia, among others. A highlight for many will be the Greek Orthodox Easter week ceremonies leading up to the celebrations of Easter on Sunday, April 8th
