Gateway to Thucydides: Chambers' The Greek War of Independence (1821-1827)

Course Description

Course Description: This intensive Greek translation class aims to give a delightful stepping-stone towards familiarity with Thucydides' narrative style. This lovely book tells the story of the modern war for Greek independence from the Ottomans but does so consciously with high frequency Thucydidean idioms and vocabulary. The instructor intends to start teaching Thucydides from the beginning in the fall term and this class is an ideal transition to tackling Attic Greek's hardest prose author Level: Participants should have attained an intermediate level (i.e., at least small exposure to authentic texts) in the traditional sense Textbook: Instructor will provide materials
