UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS.
CLASSICS IN GREECE
We will enjoy our Greek
studies more by remembering the following:
I. Site/Museum Etiquette
* be on time
* pay attention
* tall people stand in back
* circulate to let everybody get close in small spaces
* don’t photograph when speaker speaks; there will be time afterwards
* treat all speakers with respect
* show appreciation to all speakers
* be prepared to wait at a site for another group to finish their visit
* never pick up and keep anything at a site, even a small sherd can be
a ticket to Greek jail
II. Health/Safety
* take care of your bodies
* get plenty of sleep
* marble is slippery, even when dry
* don’t walk on wet pavement if you can help it
* think about your feet: there are a lot of sharp things on the
* ground, and a lot of places to trip
* watch your step on archaeological sites; things collapse
* shoes: be sensible
* heat: watch dehydration; drink, suck on hard candies, wear head
* protection and sun screen
* food allergies, drug allergies, medication: learn the relevant Greek
words in case you need to deal with any urgent situation
III. Bus
* be on it, and on time
* keep it clean and dry
* try to follow our routes on a map
* be prepared to listen to talks en route (and to sing)
IV. Schedule
All is subject to change, and much will (PANTA RHEI, ‘all things flow/change’)
