Offered B-term.
Prereq: GREEK 300.
This course is designed to offer Honors students a chance to deepen and complicate their study of Greek. Students participate in and complete all requirements for Greek 301. In addition, students will meet for one hour per week to discuss additional readings and develop critical perspectives on materials studied in the class.

Depending on student interests and goals, there may also be a project component of the class. The goal is to help you connnect the fascinating world of Greek literature and ancient Greek culture and history with issues and ideas that you find important and compelling. We can explore issues connected to the history of Greek as a language, the interpretation of major texts, and historical periods and trends.

The grade for this course will be 90% based on your grade for the work assigned in Greek and 10% based on the grade for work done in the honors portion. That 10% will be based on participation for and preparation in our weekly discussion sessions, and completion of a final project: a 2 page reflection.
