We will read first Plato’s Ion and from it
learn the technical terms by which educated Greeks of Plato’s time understood
the processes and occasions of the recitation of traditional Homeric epic by
so-called bards and rhapsodes. We will then turn to read selected passages from
the two Homeric epics. Students taking this course are urged to take “Homer”,
the Upper College course being given in English in the time period immediately
before (M/W 1:30 – 2:50), and priority in selecting passages from Homer to read
in Greek will be given to the interests of the students taking both classes. On-line
