Description

Athens is a place renowned for its history and culture. It is also the most famous city of ancient Greece, a part of the world where Western science is said to have been born. Many remains providing evidence of this period can be found all around. This course introduces you to several, little known, scientific monuments such as an ancient carved calendar, the site where astronomical measurements were taken 2,500 years ago, and an ancient instrument whose design is so complex it is often referred to as the first analogue computer. For each site introduced, background information together with instructions to where you can still visit it today are provided. If you are a keen traveller with an interest in the amazing scientific achievements of the past, this course is definitely for you.

Scientific sites and exhibits that will be covered:

Meton's observatory

Tower of the Winds

Plato's Academy

Aristotle's Lyceum

Ancient carved calendar on the church of Saint Eleytherios

Antikythera mechanism and ancient solar clock at the National Archaeological Museum
