Greek
| CLG102 - Beginner's Greek: Attic Prose |
| Designed to enable the student to read classical Attic Greek with facility; at the end of the year a selection of short Attic prose will be read. Equal emphasis on acquiring a vocabulary and an understanding of the structure of the language. |
| Professor: Christian Wildberg |
| Class: 10:00-10:50 am MTWTh- Firestone B06-L |
| CLG103 - Ancient Greek: An Intensive Introduction |
| This is an intensive introduction to Greek grammar and literature. It covers in one semester material usually done in the standard two-semester introductory sequence (CLG 101/102). Students who complete this course and then take CLG 105 in the fall will be able to complete the usual three semesters' sequence in two and can fulfill the language requirement by taking only one additional course, typically CLG 108. This course aims at providing a reading knowledge of Classical Greek, quickly. |

| CLG 214 Seminar: Wisdom, Sophistry, Philosophy: Exploits of Reason before Plato |
| This seminar-style course will encourage students to try out their newly acquired proficiency in ancient Greek on a large variety of fascinating texts, both poetry and (mostly) prose, both tricky and easy, but always limited in scope and length. Readings will include samples from collections of folklore wisdom literature, the Seven Sages, Aesop, the so-called Pre-Socratic philosophers, the sophists, excerpts from Hippocratic writings, historiography and tragedy, and will end with Socrates' radical reconceptualization of what human wisdom is. The original Greek texts will be complemented by selected secondary material. |
| Professor: Christian Wildberg |
| Seminar: 1:30-2:50 pm TTh - Firestone B06-M |
| CLG 240/HLS 240 Introduction to Postclassical Greek from the Late Antique to the Byzantine Era |
| This course is an introduction to post-classical Greek for students at all levels. The aim is to help students to improve their language skills by guiding them through the reading and interpretation of primary source material. This will involve readings in Greek and English translation. The main emphasis will be on learning to read a wide range of texts (letters, homilies, dialogues, orations, etc.) with facility. |
| Professor: Yannis L. Papadoyannakis |
| Seminar: 1:30-2:50 pm MW - Firestone B06-L |
| CLG 307 Homer and the Epic Tradition |
| The aim of this course is to gain close familiarity with Homer's Odyssey. To that end, we will read about half in Greek, the rest in English translation, with attention to the epic language, structure, themes, conventions and values of the entire poem. Some secondary readings in Homeric criticism and varieties of interpretation. |
