| CLG103 Ancient Greek: An Intensive Introduction |
| This is an intensive introduction to Greek grammar. 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. |

| CLG214 The Rhetoric of Praise |
| In this seminar-style course we will study some important examples of epideictic, or "display", oratory from the Greek world. We will read selections from Gorgias' stunning Encomium of Helen and Isocrates' response in his own Helen, Isocrates' reflections on the epideictic genre in his Busiris, and some virtuosic examples from the Second Sophistic by Dio Chrysostom and Aelius Aristides. We will also read, in translation, ancient critics (Aristotle, Menander Rhetor) on the genre of epideictic and some modern scholarship on ancient rhetorical performance. |

| CLG310 Topics in Greek Literature: The Extremists |
| Greek literature offers us a number of solitary figures whose passions and commitments isolate them from their communities and lead to tragic outcomes. In this course, we will examine three such figures: Achilles, Antigone, and Socrates. By studying these figures in three texts from different literary genres (epic, tragedy, philosophical dialogue) and time periods, we will have the opportunity to compare and contrast how Greek authors represented conflicts between individuals and communities, as well as the ethical values, passions, and philosophical ideals that could be seen to define the integrity of a human life in the Greek world. |
| Professor Brooke Holmes |
| Seminar: 3:00-4:20pm TTh - East Pyne 023 |
