CLGR 404(S) Greek Tragedy

This course considers general questions about the origins and development of this unique Athenian genre and institution. It focuses, however, on the play or plays being read in Greek (either one play by Aeschylus or one by Sophocles and one by Euripides) and on particular issues relevant to that play or plays. Several plays by all three tragedians are studied in translation. Evaluation will be based on classroom participation, a paper, and a final exam (translation only). Prerequisite: Greek 201 or permission of instructor.
