What is the course about?

The course aims to enable students to read Greek prose by furthering the knowledge of grammatical structures. You will be building on the skills gained from attending the first module Ancient Greek 2 or an equivalent course.

What will we cover?

Based on Chapter 8 and the beginning of Chapter 9 of Greek to GCSE: Part 2 by John Taylor (see below). We will develop our ability to read and understand more complex Ancient Greek by studying a wider range of sentence structures, including subordinate clauses and some more complex constructions. We will practise translating and composing longer passages, learn to recognise a variety of irregular forms, and explore important themes from Greek philosophy, drama, and mythology.

What will I achieve?
By the end of this course you should be able to...

  • Recognise and understand subordinate clauses and explain how they contribute to the meaning of Greek sentences.
  • Translate and analyse longer and more complex Greek passages using the vocabulary and grammatical structures studied in the module.
  • Compose simple and moderately complex sentences in Ancient Greek using the grammatical structures studied.
  • Demonstrate an understanding of key themes and ideas in ancient Greek philosophy, literature, and mythology through the texts studied

What level is the course and do I need any particular skills?

You should have attended Ancient Greek 2: module 1 or have an equivalent knowledge. As the course is taught in English, please read the outline carefully to decide if you may benefit from support with your English skills to help you take part fully in this class.

How will I be taught, and will there be any work outside the class?

The course consists of grammar instructions, grammar exercises and translation with a high level of student interaction (individual, pair and group work). Students are expected to do the homework regularly, check the material uploaded on Google Classroom and participate in oral classroom activities. Homework will require approx. 1-2 hours per week.
Here are some common answers to questions about Google Classroom.

Are there any other costs? Is there anything I need to bring?

The textbook will be Taylor J., Greek to GCSE: Part 2, Bloomsbury: 2016 (ISBN 9781474255202).

When I've finished, what course can I do next?

Ancient Greek 2: module 3.
