This course builds on the grammatical and syntactic knowledge base built in GREK 1111 or in previous iterations of GREK 2xxx through reading unaltered Greek texts and applying concepts and skills to the actual words of the ancients. Specific language skills that we will develop include recognizing syntactic patterns and larger narrative structures in connected passages of prose or poetry; reading ancient Greek at sight with confidence; reading with increased speed while remaining attentive to very close analysis of assigned passages; and understanding how to use lexica, commentaries, and other scholarly instruments in reading an edition of an ancient text.
