Overview of class

This course, the final of the second-year Greek series, is designed to build fluency in reading Greek as students transition from the study of Greek grammar to Greek literature. This course will look closely at selections of the Iliad, but our goal will be to develop enough proficiency that students will be capable of reading Homeric epic on their own. The aim of this course is for students to reach the level of understanding of Greek and familiarize themselves with resources so that they can, in the future, read Greek literature independently.
