  • Expert Ancient Greek: Πλουτάρχου Ἠθικά (G401)

    You may know Plutarch's biographies of great Greeks and Romans, but the Platonist philosopher was also one of the most prolific authors from antiquity. In the Moralia, a diverse collection of philosophical and ethical essays, he explores topics beyond those of his famous biographies. In this course, we will primarily examine the treatises "Beasts Are Rational", "The Dinner of the Seven Wise Men", and "On Superstition", while also considering excerpts from other works and discussing them in Ancient Greek.

  • Expert Ancient Greek: Introduction to the Greek Church Fathers (G402)

    In this course, we will read a range of early Christian texts in Ancient Greek, written between the first and eleventh centuries, and discuss them in Greek. The selections vary in style and complexity - from the more accessible Greek of the Didache and the Martyrdom of Polycarp to the more intricate prose of Origen, Clement of Alexandria, and Athanasius. We begin with early Christian texts from the first and second centuries, but then cover a wide array of Greek Church Fathers in order to introduce students to the diversity of the Greek Patristic tradition.

We will pay special attention to the particularities of Homeric language as we read about Apollo's plague on the Achaeans camped outside Troy, the return of Chryseis, and where the real trouble all begins: Agamemnon taking the girl Briseis from Achilles.

I know too many seminary graduates who have forgotten the Greek they learned in school, and since I'm planning on going to seminary, I was determined not to be one of them. I'm so glad I signed up to study with ALI. Instead of paradigms and flash cards, we have page turners and Greek conversations. If you can remember what it was like when you first learned to read, how you looked forward to finding out what happens next, then you'll have an idea of what it's like learning Koine with ALI.
