We will read the three oratorical works in increasing order of difficulty: Lysias, then Demosthenes, and finally Thucydides. You should anticipate spending approximately 4-5 weeks per text, with the least amount of time spent on the first (Lysias runs to six pages) and the most on the last (the Thucydides passage is 12 pages of Greek). |
| The occasional quizzes will be announced in advance and will occur as necessary to gauge your grasp of grammatical and syntactical issues. The midterm will be scheduled for the week of October 22nd, and the final exam will be scheduled by the Registrar's office |
