Abstract
Athenaze first appeared in England in 1980 and represents an attempt to bring instruction in ancient Greek more closely in line with recent advances in the study of how people acquire languages. In 2003, a second edition appeared. It is a “reading” course, which refers to the primary means of experiencing and acquiring the language. We will use the text as the foundation for this course and occasionally expand on it to make ancient Greek an active part of your life. This semester, we will continue to work through the readings provided in Athenaze, which are adapted from ancient sources to focus increasingly on un-adapted, classical Greek. By the end of the semester, we will read some of the most famous and entertaining stories from the “father of history,” Herodotus of Halicarnassus.
