Course Description

Ancient Greek Language and Culture – Beginners

Trinity College Dublin



This evening course will run subject to sufficient numbers enrolling as there are a limited number of places available.

This course offers a comprehensive appraisal of the language of ancient Greece. It also explores some central features of Ancient Greek literature. In this course we aim to examine the cultural context surrounding classical Greek and its successors.

In the first term, those who have knowledge of Greek grammar will be able to review it at a leisurely pace while people with little or no knowledge will have an opportunity to learn the basics. Aspects including the origins of the language and its dialects will also be considered in the first term. The second term will be devoted to a careful study of the Ancient Greek literary language through samplings of Greek authors, in both poetry and prose, ranging from the archaic to Hellenistic times. We will also consider the relevance of the past in the present and explore favourite topics more in-depth through inclusive but leisurely class discussion.
