The ancient Greek world has given us a heritage of extraordinary richness and diversity. Greek at A Level offers the facility to explore the fascinating literature, history, drama and philosophy of the ancient Greeks, whilst developing linguistic proficiency and skills in critical reasoning, textual interpretation and analytical writing.
