courses vary from large lectures of twenty to thirty students to small
seminars. Here, Prof. Curley reviews the finer points of Greek grammar
with departmental student assistants Kristina Meinking '02, Alexander
Carballo '01, and Caroline McKenzie '02.
A highlight
of Spring 2000 was the student production of Aristophanes' Lysistrata,
a sex comedy from ancient Athens. The students were from CL223
Greek and Roman Comedy, and performed in The Surrey at the annual
Classics end-of-year picnic.
In December of 2003 the students in CC222, Greek Tragedy, will stage
a production of the Medusa, a play written by the members
of the course. The play will be directed by Theater major and Classics
student Jen Ginsberg '04.
