Course Objectives
This course is the first of a two-semester introduction to the ancient Greek language and historical texts written in it. The course will begin with the alphabet, elements of ancient Greek grammar and syntax and then proceed to increasingly complex readings from historical texts. The objective is for students to be able to read, understand and use historical sources written in Ancient Greek.
Course Content
Bu ders Eski Yunancaya bir giriş olarak verilmektedir. Öğrenciler ilk önce eski Yunanca gramerini öğrendikten sonra yavaş yavaş orijinal tarihi metinleri okumayı ve çevirmeyi öğrenmektedir.
Course Learning Outcomes
By the end of the course students will be expected to have familiarized themselves with the basics of Ancient Greek grammar presented to this point. Students who study on a regular basis will have a much better comprehension of the basics of the language, and can expect to complete the course with a good grade. Another goal is to prepare students for the next course (HIST 252) where they will be learning more complex aspects of the language and examining more complicated texts.
