Course Description:
We will be translating and discussing in the first half of the semester Plato's Apology and in the second half selections from the works of Lucian of Samosata in order to reinforce grammatical and syntactical concepts, improve reading skills and also the understanding of Greek literature of those periods. Also, some secondary scholarship will be consulted to gain an overview of the 5th century B.C. Greek literary tradition and the subsequent 'renaissance' of Attic prose in the 2nd century A.D. Once a week one of you will have to make a short (2 paragraph) presentation in class on an aspect of the text we will be covering at the time. You may choose your area of interest for that assignment.
