Guide for Quiz # 1 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. 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.
