The courses offer an insightful look upon the history, society, and architecture of the ancient Greeks.
The classes are divided into seminars and are delivered in a way that combines fun with learning.
According to Dr. Gribbin, anyone can participate.
"Those curious about ancient Greece get to meet its culture for the first time, while those who have studied the subject will have the opportunity to refresh their knowledge and perhaps learn something new," said Dr. Gribbin.
