Intensive Beginning Greek

This course is designed for students with little or no prior instruction in ancient Greek who are committed to learning the language at rapid speed. Equivalent to the first two semesters of college-level instruction, it covers all basic grammar and vocabulary while offering considerable practice in reading. By the end of the course students are sufficiently prepared to read continuous passages of poetry (Homer, Aristophanes, and Euripides) and prose (Plato, Herodotus, and Lysias) with the aid of a dictionary.
