Program

This course aims at providing the skills needed to be fluent in Ancient Greek and the skills needed to produce a written text in Ancient Greek. From the very first lessons, under the guidance of the lecturer, will learn to speak. From the very beginning, the class will write short texts of medium difficulty so as to reach, at the end of the course, full active competence of the language.
The goal of the teaching activities, as for all the IISC courses, is literary: the ability to speak and to write texts in Greek and to imitate the authors’ style and language aim at consolidating the current reading ability of the classics and provide greater awareness of the richness of the language.
The course will be held in classroom and via streaming: students will enter the virtual classroom through a link given by the IISC. Lessons in streaming will be recorded and they will stay available for the students to see for a week.
