IS24 TOURING GREECE, THE GREEK
ISLANDS AND TURKEY
Wednesdays, 1:30 p.m.–3 p.m.
Dates: 10 Sessions, September 11–November 20
Instructor: David Shobe
In a departure from his usual political topics,
David has decided to use his experiences from a
year on Crete and in Istanbul in 1997, with help
from filmed tours by Professor John Hale of the
University of Louisville, to take us on a journey
beginning in Athens and the Peloponnese,
cruising the Greek Islands south to Crete hence
to Rhodes and coastal Turkey and ending in
Istanbul. Dr. Hale’s filmed lectures will be
placed on “pause” to allow for questions and
comments. David will add his own take on the
political evolution of Greece from Crete to
Mycenae to Athens and of Constantine’s
Constantinople to Attaturk’s Istanbul. Some
acquaintance with Greek mythology will
undoubtedly enhance one’s appreciation of
Professor Hale’s erudition as a tour leader.
Class is limited to 65 students.
David Shobe was a career foreign service
officer assigned to the American embassy in
Baghdad just prior to the 1967 Arab-Israeli War.
He began a lifelong interest in the Middle East,
the variations on Arab nationalism and their
interplay with a neighboring Jewish state. Since
coming to Lewes 13 years ago, he has lectured
widely on the history of conflicts in that region
and in Southeast Asia.
