GRK10100

This module is the second stage of a beginners' course in ancient Greek. The textbook is Reading Greek (Cambridge University Press). Students read adapted Greek; learn vocabulary, grammar, and syntax; and do language exercises. The module will begin at approximately sections 6 of the textbook, and students will move beyond the textbook, and learn skills of translating unadapted Greek, looking at both Greek prose and verse texts. The module also provides an introduction to ancient Greek culture, especially 5th- and 4th-century Athens.
