Hofstra in Athens
January 4-25
“Another Athens shall arise. And to remoter time Bequeath, like sunset to the skies, The splendour of its prime;”
– Percy Bysshe Shelley, Hellas (1822)
The city of Athens, sprawling from the foot of the Acropolis, has beckoned travelers since its rise as the founding home of democracy in fifth century B.C. Athens is the main site of a three-week odyssey offered by Hofstra College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and the Department of Comparative Literature and Languages in January 2013. Hofstra University provides a curriculum-related opportunity for students to interact with the landscape and environment that has shaped the foundational principles, ethics and aesthetics of their own culture.
Why Athens?
• Walk the sunny palm, orange, and cypress tree-lined streets that Socrates, Plato and Aristotle once walked.
• Enjoy the balmy weather, visit surrounding museums, have long lunches, and share nightly meals and make new friends.
• Visit the birthplace of democracy and view parliament and the Acropolis from your hotel.
• Experience the culture that a modern European city with a rich history and landscape can offer.
