GRK 100YElementary Greek5
A year-long course in the fundamentals of Attic Greek, the dialect of Greek spoken in antiquity in the region of Attica and its capital, Athens, and used by canonical writers such as the tragedians Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides, the historian Thucydides and the philosopher Plato. This course prepares students to read the works of these authors and a wide range of others through a combination of grammatical study, composition and graded reading practice, while learning about the history and culture of classical Greece. It also prepares them to make the transition to both the early Greek of Homeric epic and the later Greek (koine) of the New Testament. This course cannot be divided at midyear with credit for the first semester.
Offered as GRK 200X and GRK 300X. Students should take GRK 200X first. This course explores Greek prose and poetry from the Archaic and Classical periods, such as Homer, Herodotus, Euripides, and Lysias, with attention to linguistic differences over time and region. Students consider themes and topics such as the connection between myth and history, the formation of pan-Hellenic identity, and the relationship between the individual and society. Includes a systematic review of grammar fundamentals, while GRK 300 develops students’ research skills through engagement with modern scholarship and close interpretive analysis of ancient sources. Prerequisite: GRK 100Y or equivalent. {F}{L}
