Assoc Prof Chris Mackie| Subject Overview: | In this subject students translate and discuss the interpretation of a selected work by a Greek historian (Herodotus, Thucydides or Xenophon). In tutorials, further work is undertaken on grammar and syntax which revises and consolidates the beginners course. Students will also undertake work in Ancient Greek literary and textual criticism. On completion of this subject students should have consolidated their skills in working with Ancient Greek texts and have discovered some of the many important contributions which reading original texts can make to understanding the ancient world. |
