What was Greece? How did the ancient Greeks live? Who were the gods and heroes of Greek mythology? What did the concepts they invented and that still speak to us mean to the Greeks? Tyranny? Democracy? History? The Louvre Museum's Greek art collections, among the most important in the world, provide vivid and clear answers to these questions. Sculptures, vases, and jewelry bear witness to the living environment of the ancient Greeks, their cultural identity, and tell their eventful history. Language, religion, sport, theater, political life, and society thus appear in documents that help restore the richness of this civilization to which we are heirs. Thematic fact sheets will provide answers to the questions of the curious, the amateur, and also of teachers and students who are looking for commented documents and syntheses constructed to meet the educational programs of history, literature, and art education.
