The authors read in GREE 441 and 442 vary from year to year, but as a general practice are chosen from a list including Homer, choral and lyric poetry, historians, tragedians, and Plato, depending upon the interests and needs of the students. GREE 441 and 442 may be elected any number of times by a student, providing only that the topic is not the same. In Fall 2025, the class will read a selection of the Presocratic philosophers in Ancient Greek along with a handful of articles that explore the origins of early Greek science and philosophy.
