Continued study of selected Greek texts and unseen passages, with emphasis on the development of knowledge of the language.
In building on what students have achieved in Greek 234, Greek 235 aims to deepen their understanding of the Classical Greek language and culture as well as to broaden their knowledge of Greek literature. This will involve close textual readings and specific reference to the historical and cultural context behind this famous Greek tragedy. We shall aim to read about 600 lines of the Medea. Each reading session aims not only to clarify the text in terms of its linguistic components, but also to encourage appreciation and discussion of its literary and dramatic qualities, and its appeal to ancient (as well as modern) sensibilities. Classes on unseens and grammar will be held on a weekly basis.
CLAS234. Students without the prerequisite but with previous experience in the language may be admitted to the course at the discretion of the Programme Coordinator.
