Topics vary. Open to advanced undergraduate and graduate students. The literature studied is read in its original language, either ancient Greek or Latin, so advanced skill in the appropriate language is required. Please contact the instructor if you are unsure whether you have the appropriate knowledge of the language. Topic for Fall 2016: Reading Thucydides in Greek. This seminar involves a close reading of Thucydides' History of the Peloponnesian War. In studying selections of this greatest and most difficult historian of antiquity, our focus is heavily philological -- grammar, syntax, style, and translation. Also offered as CAS CL 461 A1.
