Hofstra in Greece
January 2-24
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, whose crown is the temple of Athena, more famously known as the Parthenon, has beckoned to travelers since its rise as the founding home of democracy in the fifth century B.C. Athens is the site of a three-week odyssey offered by the Hofstra College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, and the Department of Comparative Literature and Languages in January 2009. In creating this program, 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.
Students from Hofstra and other universities are encouraged to apply.
