Prerequisites

LFLTR1770 or another course deemed equivalent by the lecturer.

Main themes

A study of the verbal morphology of Classical Greek.

This course, to be taken in parallel with LGLOR1172, deals with the following themes:
1. Greek verbal morphology and the use of tenses and moods;
2. The analysis and translation of a Greek prose text (cursory reading).

Aims

At the end of this course, the student will have mastered verbal morphology as well as the main uses of tenses and moods, and will thus be able to translate and analyse Greek prose texts at an elementary level.

Evaluation methods

One or two tests will be held during the term.

The final exam (written and oral) evaluates both theoretical knowledge and practical skills.

Teaching methods

Lectures coupled with exercises in morphology and translation. The active participation of the students is always required.

The syllabus of the course LFLTR1770 serves as a reference, and there will be a test on this about a month after the beginning of the course.

Content

This course covers the morphology of regular and irregular verbs. It provides a first overall survey of the system of moods and tenses in Ancient Greek as well as a methodical introduction to the analysis and translation of Greek texts. It is complemented by numerous exercises in morphology, and about 100 paradigms illustrating nominal and verbal syntax.

The cursory reading consists of extracts from Xenophon's Cyropaedia: the story of Abradatas and Panthea and the speech of the dying Cyrus.
