Course Overview

Course description: The aim of the course is to teach reading ancient Greek as quickly, thoroughly and enjoyably as possible, and to do so within the context of ancient Greek culture, without presupposing any knowledge at all of either the language or the culture. The passages that will be studied will be accompanied by narratives in English and illustrations drawn from ancient works of art, which will provide background information and deepen one's understanding of some aspects of the history and culture of ancient Greece. Attention will also be paid to the influence of the Greek language to the vocabulary of English: so the takers of this course will also attain a better understanding of English, while their knowledge of English will be useful in learning Greek.
