D. Thomas Benediktson, Spring 201s, TT 2:00-3:40, ASDC 

Text: Balme and Lawall, Athenaze: An Introduction to Ancient Greek, Part I, 2nd Edition, Oxford 2003, and Part II, also 2nd edition (Oxford 2002) .

This course is the second course on ancient Greek language.  It assumes that students know the material from Athenaze volume 1, chapters 1-10a. We will begin with chapter 10b.  We will learn a great deal about Greek culture and history as well as the Greek language.  Indeed, we will learn a great deal about ourselves and the way we look at the world.

There will be four major tests, which are tentatively scheduled for Jan 31February 28, April 2 and during the regularly-scheduled final examination period (May 2, at 1:00 p.m.).  Each Tuesday there will be a quiz when there is not a test.  Your final grade will be based on your best three test grades (other than the final examination, which can only be dropped with my permission) and your best quiz grades (I will drop 3 of these).

Objectives for this courses are:  to develop upper beginning-level skills in translation, composition and pronunciation of ancient Greek; to acquire an understanding of ancient Greek culture and history; and to review and deepen knowledge of grammatical constructions and vocabulary in English.  These skills will be evaluated on tests and in class discussions.
