Ancient Greek Animal Stories

Description

After we read Aesop’s Fables during the last term, we will in this term read some true animal stories from Aelian and Plutarch as well as some probably not so true ones from the Physiologus. In our class we will, among others, encounter faithful dogs, revengeful cranes, and the heart warming friendship between a slave and his lion – all of this, of course, in Ancient Greek!

For whom is this course?

• Intermediate learners (equivalent to at least one year of university studies)

This class is ideal for students who want to read authentic Ancient Greek that is fun and relatively easy (as easy as authentic Ancient Greek can be).

Prerequisites

• Good knowledge of Ancient Greek (you should know, or at least be willing to revisit, all the basics of Ancient Greek grammar)
• Prior experience speaking the language is welcome but not needed

Lanugage of instruction

• Ancient Greek (a handout with useful phrases will be given out before the first session)
