Course Description

First half of an introduction to reading Attic Greek, the language of ancient Athens in its political, literary, and philosophical prime. Students will begin acquiring fluency with the language’s grammar and vocabulary, with
the goal of eventually reading and translating actual Greek literature (including the koine of the New Testament). In unpacking how Attic Greek works, students will simultaneously gain an ability to analyze the grammar of English and other languages. The class will also visit and learn about major sites and monuments of ancient Greece.
