Description

This advanced Classical Greek class will meet on Saturdays from 11.30-12.30 (GMT), using Greek Beyond GCSE by John Taylor. The class is conducted via Zoom. The class will require approximately 1-2 hours of independent study between each lesson.

You should already be familiar with all noun declensions, the active, passive and middle voice in the present, future, imperfect and aorist tenses, contract verbs, indirect statements, uses of the subjunctive and optative moods, the perfect and pluperfect tenses, -μι verbs, and verbs which take dependent participles.

In this 10 week term we will cover grammar from chapter 4 of the textbook, including the articular infinitive (gerund), the gerundive, the indefinite construction, dual forms and third person imperatives. Students will continue to learn about the Classical Greek world through translation of adapted passages and some unadapted texts.

Dates for the spring term: Saturday 11th January, (no class on 18th January), 25th January, 1st February, 8th February (mid-term break on 15th February), 22nd February, 1st March, 8th March, 15th March, 22nd March and 29th March 2025.
