Description

This advanced Classical Greek class will meet on Saturdays from 13.00-14.00 (UK/Ireland local time), 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 grammar from the GCSE syllabus: 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, and the perfect tense.

In this 12 week term we will cover grammar from chapter 3 of the textbook, including -μι verbs and verbs taking a dependent participle. Students will continue to learn about the Classical Greek world through translation of adapted passages and some unadapted texts.

Dates for the autumn term are Saturday 13th September, 20th September, 27th September, 4th October, 11th October, 18th October, 25th October, (mid-term break 1st November), 8th November, 15th November, 22nd November, 29th November, and 6th December 2025.

Tutor: Dr Susan Deacy
