Classical Greek

Course summary

WHY STUDY GREEK OR LATIN? Students will enjoy the challenge of reading and engaging with a range of set texts and will have the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the life and culture of the ancient world. Students will be encouraged to develop and apply critical analytical skills which will support future study, and linguistic skills which will help them in the study and application of English and other languages. CONTENT OF THE COURSE: Students build their knowledge of vocabulary and linguistic structures through study of grammar, deepening and going beyond the knowledge gained at GCSE, and through reading and studying prose and verse texts. For the literature papers, two prose and two verse set texts are studied in depth. Additional literature in translation is studied to provide context.
