CLASSGRK 111: Advanced Greek: Euripides' Medea (CLASSGRK 211)
The primary focus of this class will be Euripides' Medea. Accordingly, we will read the classic tragedy from cover to cover, in Greek. In order to facilitate discussion of (e.g.) prosody, meter, and interpretive problems, we will employ Mastronarde's excellent Cambridge commentary. In order to contextualize Euripides' particular version of the Medea-myth, we will also consider several alternatives (e.g. Neophron's or Pasolini's Medea, or the Policoro hydria). Classics majors and minors must take for a letter grade and may repeat for credit with advance approval from the Director of Undergraduate Studies.

CLASSGRK 112: Advanced Greek: Attic Oratory (CLASSGRK 212)
The Athenians enjoyed their oratory¿a bit too much, according to Thucydides, who added some of the finest specimens himself. We will read in Greek a selection of speeches, mostly forensic ones by Antiphon and Lysias, but also one example each of the two other rhetoric genres. Our primary objective is to increase comprehension and enjoyment of Attic oratory, but we will also pay attention to Athenian history and culture.
