Herodotus was the first historian and is often called 'the father of history'; we will read the earliest portion of his text, exploring "the causes why Greeks and barbarians went to war with one another" in the Persian Wars of 481-479 BCE. We will also continue reading the Alcestis of Euripides, and will explore ways in which Herodotus and Euripides were both important participants in what we still call "The Greek Enlightenment." Throughout the semester, we will continue to review grammar, syntax, and morphology to help strengthen command of the language. Prerequisite:one year of classical Greek. Class size: 15
