Greek 200X - Greek Prose and Poetry

Offered as GRK 200X and GRK 300X. Students should take GRK 200X first. This course explores Greek prose and poetry from the Archaic and Classical periods, such as Homer, Herodotus, Euripides, and Lysias, with attention to linguistic differences over time and region. Students consider themes and topics such as the connection between myth and history, the formation of pan-Hellenic identity, and the relationship between the individual and society. Includes a systematic review of grammar fundamentals, while GRK 300 develops students’ research skills through engagement with modern scholarship and close interpretive analysis of ancient sources. Prerequisite: GRK 100Y or equivalent.
