Now is the time to begin reading Greek texts from the ancient world. This course will introduce students to selections from the Greek New Testament so they can see what “Greek in the wild” really looks like, and learn what makes the Koine of the Bible distinct from other forms of the language throughout time and in different locations. We will also continue to read about the adventures of Thrasymachus as he encounters new divine and heroic characters in his journey through the underworld. Using our custom-built materials, students will continue to internalize Ancient Greek in a way that prepares them to understand primary sources from across the range of the Ancient Greek corpus: archaic, classical and Koine. In addition to lots of new Ancient Greek vocabulary, this course will cover the subjunctive and optative moods, introduce the perfect tense, and more!
