ATTIC PROSE
Greek 100 Section 1 (4 units)
CRANE, D
Fulfills the L&S breadth requirements in Arts & Literature and Philosophy & Values
In this course we will read two texts in their entirety and in the original Ancient Greek (NOT in translation!): first, Lysias' courtroom speech "On the murder of Eratosthenes," followed by Plato's dialogue "Crito." As time permits, we will also practise reading Greek at sight. While the course is primarily directed towards improving your knowledge of Greek, it will include consideration of our texts as intellectual and artistic achievements, and for the light they shed on Athenian culture.
Requirements
Regular quizzes on grammar in class; 1 midterm exam; 4 page term paper; final exam.
