This unit aims to extend and further develop skills of independent reading and interpretation of literary texts in Greek. These texts will be studied from the perspective of their generic, thematic or historical inter-relations, as evidenced by close reading of texts, and by consideration of commentaries and secondary literature. Their dialect, style, manuscript history or papyrology will generally be more challenging than those encountered in levels B and C. Authors covered might include early Greek lyric (e.g. Sappho and Alcaeus), Aeschylus, Pindar, Thucydides, Theocritus, or Philodemus.
On successful completion of this unit successful students will be able to:
1 x 2 hour seminar per week
1 x 1 hour seminar per week
Both will assess ILOs 1-4.
