One of the best ways to develop your knowledge of Ancient Greek is to practice writing it. This prose composition course will start with selections from Xenophon, and students will “reverse-translate,” looking at existing English translations and trying to turn them back into Greek. We will also be reading in Greek, to ensure that we continue to encounter good examples of Ancient Greek prose.
