ANCIENT GREEK LANGUAGE COURSE
AT THE PALLADION
ANCIENT GREEK LANGUAGE COURSE AT THE PALLADION
In the winter of 2025, the Palladion is offering an online practice course in Ancient Greek. The course is designed for anyone eager to improve or maintain their Greek reading skills and deepen their knowledge of grammar.
The course’s primary objective is to provide participants with opportunities to practice grammar and develop their understanding of Greek by reading and analysing ancient Greek texts together. In class, we will read short excerpts from ancient Greek literary, philosophical, historical, or religious works and interpret them sentence by sentence, discussing the underlying ideas and clarifying the relevant grammatical phenomena. For homework, participants will complete exercises to practice the grammar covered in the previous seminar and prepare for the next week by independently reading a section of the assigned text.
This term, we plan to read chapters from the New Testament (e.g., Matthew 5:1-7:29; Luke 6:17-49). The specific work(s) and sections to be read will be finalized together in the first week.
