A college level, transferable course which
provides training in the grammar, vocabulary and reading of ancient Attic Greek.
Students will be able to distinguish Greek
grammatical structures and analyze their
relevance to English grammar, to demonstrate a working knowledge of Greek
vocabulary, to translate passages of simple
Greek with the aid of a dictionary, and
to recognize the Greek stems of English
words and thereby determine general parameters of meaning. It enriches students
lives by introducing them to one of the
most important languages and literatures
in the Western tradition. It is especially
appropriate for students in the humanities,
philosophy, history, and literature, and to
those considering careers in medicine or
law. (CSU, UC, AVC)
