We will read in Greek most of Plato’s great dialogue on Eros, and all of it in English. For comparison, we will also read the whole of Xenophon’s Symposium in English. Plato’s Greek text we will study in a recent edition (Louise Pratt, Eros at the Banquet Table, 2011) designed for students with only two or three semesters of Greek, and we will supplement it with the same author’s The Essentials of Greek Grammar: A Reference for Intermediate Readers of Attic Greek, which includes many examples from Plato’s Symposium. Class discussion will range from correct translation and analysis of grammatical points to analysis of the dialogue both as philosophy and as literature. Class size: 22
