Study Guide for Quiz # 1
Humanities 120

 

This quiz will cover Chapter 1, Chapter 2 through page 46, the reading selections (Code of Hammurabi, Epic of Gilgamesh, and Homer).  Although you are responsible for all the material in the chapters, the quiz will focus on what has been emphasized in class - including the supplementary material I provided.   Most of the quiz will be objective (multiple choice and matches), and there may be some short answer questions.  I recommend that you review the quizzes on the website for the text.

  I recommend that you review the following:

 

1.      Study the maps on pages 6 and 32.  On page 6, know the location of the Mediterranean Sea, the Red Sea, the Persian Gulf, the Tigris River, the Euphrates River, the Nile, Mesopotamia, Upper and Lower Egypt, and the cities of Ur, Babylon, Memphis, and Thebes.  On page 32, know the location of the Aegean Sea, the Peloponnesus, the islands of Crete, Samos, and Lesbos, and the cities of Knossos, Mycenae, Troy, Athens, Sparta, and Miletus.

2.      For each culture that we have discussed, review the major historical events.  (You do not have to worry about exact dates.)  For each culture, be sure that you understand the relationship between religious and philosophical ideas and art and literature.

3.      Know who the following people, characters, or gods are:  Gilgamesh, Enheduanna, Hammurabi,  Osirus, Horus, Menes, Khufu, Akhenaten, Tutankhamen, Hatshepsut, Imhotep, Homer, Agamemnon, Achilles, Hector, Solon, Cleisthenes, Zeus, Hera, Athena, Dionysus, Sappho, Thales, Pythagorus, Heraclitus.

4.      Review the vocabulary at the end of the chapters (excluding the vocabulary relating to Greek architecture).

5.      Be sure you can recognize representative works of art and can identify what culture produced these works of art.  For example, you should be able to identify a painting such as the one on page 23 as Egyptian, and you should be able to recognize the most major works of art and architecture such as the Pyramids at Giza, the Ziggurat of Ur, and the Lion's Gate at Mycenae.  You should also be able to answer basic questions about the representative works of art.
