History: The Rise of the Greeks
We will begin by briefly examining the rise of the Persian Empire as a contrasting culture to the continued emergence of the archaic Greek world in the West. We will also then give further consideration to the expansion and evolution of Greek civilization during the 6th century BC including in its poetry and art, and the circumstances of the Ionian Revolt. We will consider how the phenomenon of Tyranny arose; in particular we will focus on the emergence of Peistrastos in Athens, the tyranny of his sons, and their ultimate downfall to be replaced by the first Democracy.

Literature: Literature Appreciation: 'Openings'
Openings present challenges. The beginning of a text is vital in terms of how it will intrigue a reader, 'set the scene' for them, play to, or subvert their expectations. Characters need to be established quickly, plot and its tensions set in motion, context established. We will be studying together how authors rise to these demands in the openings of novels, poetry and plays from Shakespeare to the modern day. Through discussion and analysis together, we will assess the techniques writers use to shape our responses, and invite us into their work.
