Like Greek 201, this course pairs archaic poetry with classical prose, and it continues to develop some of the themes and methods introduced the previous semester. We will read selections from Homer (either the Iliad or the Odyssey) and Herodotus (his account, composed later in the fifth century, of the wars between Greeks and Persia fought near the beginning of that century). We will continue to review grammar and to develop fluency in reading Greek but will put greater emphasis than in Greek 201 on analysis and interpretation of the texts. Format: recitation/discussion. Evaluation will be based on preparation for each class, classroom participation, quizzes, a midterm and a final exam. Several oral presentations and short essays may be required as well. Prerequisite: Greek 201 or permission of the instructor. Enrollment limit: 12 (expected: 5-10).
