  • Introduction to Greek Literature

    Introduction to Greek literature through intensive reading. Prerequisite: GREK 0200, GREK 0110, or the equivalent. This course focuses on translation and comprehension of Classical Greek prose. The goal is to expand your vocabulary, increase your ease with morphology, and deepen your understanding of syntax as each of these elements of the language interact with each other. The primary text will be Plato’s Symposium, in which Socrates and other guests at a drinking party consider the nature of love, ἔρως and its role in personal relationships, education, and even politics.

  • Tragedy of Greeks and Others

    The class will be devoted mainly to a close reading of Aeschylus' play The Persians, attending to it in all its aspects (language, performance, historical context, meter). We will also read in translation select passages from Herodotus, Xenophon, and others bearing on Greek attitudes to Persia. We will examine key critical questions about Greek identity and self-definition in their relation to the East.

  • The Cities of Plato’s Republic

    In the course of his 10-book argument that being just is intrinsically a good thing for a person, Plato’s Socrates – with help from interlocutors Glaucon and Adeimantus – imaginatively constructs several cities: three or four (depending how you count) cities in the attempt to describe a just city, and then four increasingly unjust cities. We shall read as much of this work as we can in Greek, paying special attention to the relation between Plato’s imagined cities and the real polities of fifth- and fourth-century Greece. We shall also pay attention to the beauty of Plato’s prose.

  • Ancient Greek Law

    We examine four periods of Greek law: Archaic, Classical, Hellenistic, and Roman Era. As much of the evidence for the Archaic and Classical periods comes from Athens, we shall focus there for awhile, using both literary and epigraphic sources; we shall not, however, eschew the important evidence from Crete during these periods. For the later periods, our evidence will be mainly epigraphical—and ‘globally Greek’. Throughout, we shall focus on issues such as ‘literacy and the writing of laws’; ‘substantive vs. procedural law’; ‘law and democracy’; and ‘the proliferation of foreign judges’.
