GK1002 Greek Literature for Beginners

SCOTCAT credits:	20
Academic year(s):	2012/3
Level:	SCQF Level 7
Semester:	2
Planned timetable:	10.00 am

This module is designed to follow on from GK1001. As such, GK1002 comprises language classes intended to supplement the topics covered in semester 1 and to prepare students for the challenge of reading and interpreting Greek literature. One prose set text will be studied in the original Greek in such a way as both to enhance the linguistic confidence of students and to explore literary and cultural issues arising from the works. The current set text is a speech by Lysias (written for a sensational murder trial), which opens up a range of themes important for the larger history of Greek literature in its historical context.
