Greek 306: Fourth Semester Ancient Greek

Students in this course will be introduced to the earliest, and possibly most fascinating, of extant ancient Greek literary texts, Homer’s Iliad. We will read all of Book 1 in the original Greek as well as explore Homeric society. The focus will be on a close reading of the text that stresses the rudiments of Homeric language and grammar, including dialects, vocabulary, syntax, poetic meter, and translation.
