Ancient Greek is the language of the epics of
Homer, the tragedies of Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides, the comedies of
Aristophanes, the philosophy of Plato and Aristotle, the histories of Herodotus
and Thucydides, etc. In this course,
students will learn the grammar of Greek and acquire a fundamental
vocabulary. Attention will also be
given to pronunciation and recitation of poetry and prose. Discussions of Greek culture and thought will
occasionally result. In the second
semester, significant passages from ancient authors will be read.
