Intermediate Greek

The course is intended for those who have already taken a beginners course. There is an examination with two parts: (1) Texts for detailed study from D.A. Russell’s Anthology of Greek Prose. This will introduce a variety of prose authors of different genres and dates (there are lectures in the first term). (2) There are then two further texts, examined by translation, chosen from selections of Herodotus, Plutarch and Euripides. Alternative texts of comparable length and linguistic difficulty may be approved by the Graduate Studies Committee, particularly if there is a link with another option or options taken by the candidate.
