First-Year Greek: Semester II
GRK 102 SP

This course continues the introduction to the language and culture of the ancient Greeks begun in GRK 101, although with less emphasis on grammar (forms) and more on syntax (sentence structure). Students learn the vocabulary, grammar and syntax of the language as they progress through graded readings. The readings are adapted from the 5th century bce comedies of Aristophanes and a 4th century bce oration focusing on the exploits of an ancient Greek hetaira (courtesan), and they present a broad overview of life in ancient Athens during the classical period. Selected readings in a supplementary English text explain and elaborate the principal features of classical Athenian culture and of women's role in the ancient city-state.
