The GREK 301 seminars offer students the opportunity to study a variety of themes and authors in ancient Greek literature. The topics of the seminars change each semester, and typically one seminar is offered per semester. The authors explored in these seminars repeat in a two-year rotation. Over the course of two years, the seminars will include courses that explore themes in Homer; Herodotus or Thucydides; and Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides, or Aristophanes; and the seminars will also include one instructor-designed course that does not focus on any of the above authors. Students may take a GREK 301 seminar in as many semesters as they would like, so long as the material in that seminar does not substantially overlap with the material of a previous seminar the student has taken.
Prerequisite: GREK 214 or any previous GREK 300 level course.
