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.
