We will be translating and discussing Sophocles' Oedipus Rex and Euripides' Medea in order to reinforce grammatical and syntactical concepts and improve reading skills. Some secondary scholarship will also be consulted so as to enhance our perception of Greek Drama, such as linguistics, socio-political parameters, circumstances of performance etc. During our sessions, we will be going through the assigned for the day text. You will be responsible to have it translated before you come to class. We will be going over your homework together, translating, discussing the material, and answering questions on grammar and syntax. Once a week one of you will have to make a presentation in class on an aspect of the text we will be covering at the time. We will also be having quizzes on the discussed material.
