Description

Aimed both at (pre-)intermediate students of Ancient Greek and teachers interested in the “natural” or “direct” method of second language acquisition, these classes offer an introduction to speaking (the standard Attic dialect of) Ancient Greek. Original texts will be read and discussed in Greek, exercises will be conducted in Greek to reinforce the correct use of Greek grammatical terms, morphology (aorist II, perfect, pluperfect, irregular verbs etc.) and syntax.

The course is based on the new book by Mario Díaz Ávila Ζωὴ τῆς Ἑλλάδος which makes original Ancient Greek texts accessible for advanced beginners to early intermediate students.

We shall read and discuss the following texts from the book:

Ἀπολλόδωρος – Βιβλιοθήκη
Παλαίφατος – Περὶ ἀπίστων ἱστοριῶν
Πλάτων – Πρωταγόρας
Εὐριπίδου τραγῳδιῶν ὑποθέσεις· Ἱππολύτου, Ἑκάβης, Σθενεβοίας
Λυσίας α´ (On the Murder of Eratosthenes)
Παυσανίας – Ἑλλάδος Περιήγησις· αἱ Ἀθῆναι
(Ψευδο)Καλλισθένης – Ἀλεξάνδρου βίος
