Course Catalog Description
Readings from Plato's <Apology> or <Crito>, and from other Attic prose authors (e.g., Xenophon, Lysias); some review of grammar.
Class Description
In this course we will read two texts in the original Ancient Greek (NOT in translation!): first, Lysias' courtroom speech “On the murder of Eratosthenes,” followed by Plato's "Crito." While the course is primarily directed towards improving your knowledge of Greek, it will include consideration of our texts as intellectual and artistic achievements, and for the light they shed on Athenian culture.
