| Additional Course Info | Class Number: 1153 This two-semester course provides an introduction to the ancient Greek language and to the reading of ancient Greek literature; from the beginning we will be reading not only sentences designed to give students practice but actual excerpts from ancient prose and poetry. We should be able to finish the basics by about the middle of the spring semester, and will spend the rest of the year reading and discussing Platos Crito, in which Socrates defends his decision not to escape from prison and a death sentence, and Lysias first oration, a speech for the defense in a trial that sheds interesting light on Athenian domestic life.; Enrollment Limit: 18 Div: Lang 1; Humanities, A: Meaning, Interpretation (Texts) (; Hav: HU, A) |
