About Reading classical Greek: language and literature

This course combines an introduction to classical Greek language with the study of classical Greek culture and literature in translation. It is intended for beginners in Greek and assumes no previous experience of language learning. The course teaches you basic vocabulary and grammar, and sets you on your way to reading Greek texts in the original. The course uses the JACT Reading Greek series, augmented by Study Guides. Your language learning is also supported by specially designed interactive resources. Alongside your language work, you study set texts in English (Euripides Medea , Aristophanes Clouds and Platos Defence of Socrates ) from literary, cultural and performance angles.
