the Pleistocene Epoch that once covered about 250,000 acres extending west to the
Columbia River and east to the Snake River. Wear hiking clothes and boots, and bring

A Glimpse of Greece
2901/QUEST 076
Greece may take on new meaning if you consider two topics that highlight the
enduring nature of this ancient civilization: 1) Emphasizing the art of ancient Greece,
questions about what makes a classic work, a classic period, a golden age, and the idea
of classicism as a driving force in our civilization will be asked and discussed. 2) The
problems faced by ancient Greek architects as they designed temples and the different
solutions they adopted will be addressed. This class is designed as an introduction to the
tour to Greece that John Jamison is scheduled to lead in October.
