Classical Greek

Course summary

Students begin by reading a variety of texts to introduce them to the breadth of Greek literature. We look at works by a range of authors and there is an extensive programme of language teaching and vocabulary learning to help students become confident readers of Greek texts. Later in the year, students begin reading their set texts, which can be taken from authors such as Herodotus, Plato, Homer or Euripides. Formal language work continues throughout, preparing students for both unseen translation work and prose composition.
