Academic year(s):	2012/3
Level:	SCQF Level 8
Semester:	1
Planned timetable:	10.00 am

This module, designed to follow on from GK1006, studies texts taken from two major areas of Greek literature, epic narrative (Homer) and comic prose dialogue (Lucian), and illustrates the creative scope and vitality of the Greek literary tradition over a period of almost a millennium. The set texts will be studied in the original Greek. Classes will cover both detailed study of the set texts in their cultural context and linguistic/translation exercises designed to enhance students' knowledge of Greek. The module as a whole is carefully structured so as to integrate linguistic progress with widened horizons in the student's knowledge of Greek literature.
