Intensive Elementary Classical Greek

Catalog description

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to read ancient Greek literature such as Homer, Sophocles, Plato, Hippocrates, Aristotle, or the Greek Bible, in the original? This course offers an introduction to the ancient Greek language for beginners, with explanation of basic grammatical concepts and intensive exercises in reading and writing. Ideal for undergraduates or graduate students from Penn or elsewhere with some background in learning other languages, or who need to learn Greek rapidly. The course covers the first year of college-level Greek, equivalent to GREK 0100 + GREK 0200 at more than twice the normal pace.
