This unit aims to extend and further develop skills of independent reading and interpretation of texts in Greek. The texts covered will constitute a representative sample of texts from 2-4 authors, amounting to 700-900 lines. 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. Authors covered may include Apollonius, Aristotle, Demosthenes, Homer and the Homeric Hymns, a Hellenistic anthology, Herodotus, Plutarch, Sophocles, or Thucydides.
On successful completion of this unit students will be able to:
1 x 2 hour seminar per week
1 x 1 hour seminar per week
1 x 2,500 word essay (50%) [ILOs 1-4]
