Answer 2

None of the resources I've read really answer the question of what the function of high culture in Classical Athens was

Answer 3

Have you tried carefully reading your text?

I'm sure it's in there. This is not a term with which I'm familiar.

Answer 4

How is your text defining "high culture" in ancient Athens?

I majored in classical studies (ancient Greek, Rome, their histories and cultures), and I've never heard this term before. It may be something your school/text has made up. No matter, though ... you still need to tell us what is meant by "high culture."

Answer 5

That's the thing, I have never heard the term "high culture" used to describe this period either. I don't have a textbook for this course, I'm just supposed to research to find my answers. It's an online course and I don't have any materials to study the subject. It's just research basically.

Answer 6

Then you probably need to use Google and run searches on these phrases:

<b>golden age athens government

golden age athens art and architecture

golden age athens literature and drama</b>

Answer 7

You should also read through several of the linked articles in Ms. Sue's and my Google results above ... that is, providing you're primarily dealing with 5th century BC Athens.
