Course	GRE 201 Intermediate Greek I: The Trial and Death of Socrates
Professor	Benjamin Stevens
CRN	97078
Schedule	Mon Wed 10:30 - 11:50 am OLINLC 120
Distribution	Foreign Language, Literature & Culture

A close reading of Plato's account of the trial and death of Socrates and its immediate aftermath among his associates (the dialogues Euthyphro, Apology, Crito, and Phaedo). We read portions of each dialogue in Greek, at least one dialogue in Greek completely, and all four dialogues in English. Our goals are (1) to solidify knowledge of vocabulary, morphology, and syntax; (2) to gain greater fluency in reading Greek prose; and (3) to explore the philosophical, literary, and social issues raised by this foundational event in Western culture by sampling critical approaches to the study of the language and its literature. (201 and 301 meet together.) Prerequisite: successful completion of Greek 102, or permission of instructor.
