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.

The third and fifth semesters of Ancient Greek meet together. For students in both semesters the goals are: (1) to solidify knowledge of vocabulary, morphology, and syntax; (2) to gain greater fluency in reading prose; and (3) to begin to acquire some more advanced approaches to the language and its literatures and, thus, to develop a sense of what it may mean "to do Classics" by exploring dialects other than Attic, sampling some basic poetic meters and genres, and considering literary criticism. Third-semester students are encouraged to begin working with Liddell's and Scott's lexicon; fifth-semester students are required to use the lexicon and are responsible for additional work. Prerequisite: successful completion of either Greek 102 or Greek 202, or permission of instructor.
