This class will be a very quick introduction to the Battle of Salamis, between the allied Greek states led by Athens, and the invading Persian army/navy. This class is structured around a powerpoint with plenty of maps centering around the decisions made by the Admiral Themistocles, who brilliantly orchestrated a campaign against the invading Persians. Time will be devoted at the end to a very quick analysis of the political fallout of the battle and how Athens went from a tiny power to a regional heavyweight with an empire of its own. There will be plenty of time in between for detailed questions and answers as we come together to try to understand one of the most pivotal moments in Western history.
Metas de aprendizaje
Students will learn about naval tactics, how deception is used in war, as well as more about Athens in general. We tend to think of this society as a prosperous, peaceful democracy.It is my hope that students come away with a deeper understanding of how just one military victory can change everything regarding that societies trajectory.

Experiencia y certificaciones del docente
My relevant experience and training regarding classical history such as this includes an extensive list of undergraduate courses and studies culminating in term paper centering around Athenian naval history from 480 (the battle of Salamis) to 405 (the battle of Aegospotami). Extensive time has been devoted to the study of everything from the construction of Triremes to the agricultural output of Attica and how it affected population density. Salamis in particular remains a rich area of study for scholars everywhere and as a result much is continually being published about it, meaning that there is always something new to learn or read!Reseñas
