This module is a study of Greek language for students who have completed the Beginners Greek or equivalent course. In it we aim to develop your knowledge of Greek grammar and widen your vocabulary, enabling you to master regular syntactical constructions and read standard Attic Greek texts.

The course covers sections 17-29 of Balme and Lawall’s, Athenaze II. By the end of the course you should be able to understand all syntactical constructions covered in these units and demonstrate your ability by translating from Greek into English and from English into Greek

In addition to the coursebook work, you will study a short unadapted text and practise reading and translating Attic Greek texts at sight.
