This course begins a year-long introduction to ancient Greek, focusing on the Attic dialect. This is a difficult language, requiring a great deal of work and some tricky mental exercise, but there is no more rewarding language to learn. Students will gain access to the extraordinary literature of the ancient Greeks and will benefit in more practical ways regarding communication in English. Special attention will be paid to English grammatical structures and derived vocabulary.

In Spring 2009, Greek 301 meets with Classics 394-0-20, Myth and Context in Euripides' Medea. The range of contemporary retellings of the myth of Medea attests to the powerful resonances that a modern audience may attach to a story of exile, abandon, and infanticide. Yet a full appreciation of the significance of these plays, films, or novels as discourses on contemporary culture requires a careful examination of their relation to Euripides paradigmatic treatment of the myth in his 431 BCE tragedy. This course offers a reading of Euripides Medea that ties the play to the political, social, and cultural background of fifth century Athens and compares it to both earlier and later versions of the myth ranging from PindarÂs Fourth Pythian Ode to PasoliniÂs 1970 film and Christa WolfÂs 1996 novel. Special attention will be given to Euripides use of language and metaphors, to the performative context of Greek tragedy, and to the representation of women and foreigners in the play.
