The aim of this unit is to develop and reinforce students' skills in the reading of ancient Greek, and to introduce them to the comparative practical criticism of classical texts. By reading two texts, students will consider a number of contemporary theoretical perspectives on the interpretation of ancient epic and drama, including both textual (genre, narrative, structural) and contextual approaches.
