Ancient Greek Language and
Culture
This course offers a comprehensive appraisal of
the language of ancient Greece. It also explores
some central features of ancient Greek
literature. In this course we aim to examine the
cultural context surrounding classical Greek and
its successors. In the first term, those who have
knowledge of Greek grammar will be able to
review it at a leisurely pace while people with
little or no knowledge will have an opportunity to
learn the basics of the Greek grammar. Aspects
such as the origins of the language and the
dialects will also be considered in the first term.
The second term will be devoted to a careful
study of the ancient Greek literary language
through samplings of Greek authors, in both
poetry and prose, ranging from the archaic to
Hellenistic times. We will also consider the
relevance of the past in the present and there
will be time to explore some favourite topics in
more depth through inclusive but leisurely class
discussion.
