Course description
This course introduces the fundamentals of Classical Greek, covering approximately the first half of the standard introductory sequence. It is designed for students with no prior experience in Greek.
You will learn the Classical Greek of 5th–4th century BCE Athens, preparing you to read major authors like Sophocles, Euripides, Plato, and Aristotle. This foundation also makes it easier to explore other Greek dialects, including Koine Greek (New Testament) and the language of Homer, Hesiod, and Sappho.
The next course in the sequence, Greek II (Greek 1002), will build on this knowledge and prepare you for more advanced study.
Graduate students must enroll in GRK 4001 for graduate credit.
