UC BERKELEY DEPARTMENT OF CLASSICS GREEK 15
2010 INTENSIVE SUMMER GREEK WORKSHOP

Textbooks

In the first half of the course we will work largely from:

H. Hansen and G. Quinn: Greek : An Intensive Course. (2nd Revised edition, Fordham University Press 1992). ISBN 978-0823216632.

It is readily available from online bookstores, academic and secondhand bookstores, and (closer to the summer) through the campus stores at UC Berkeley. In recent years the campus stores have been reluctant to order the full complement of Hansen and Quinn requested, so it may be a good idea to try to find a copy before coming to Berkeley. Students should bring a copy of the book to the first class meeting. In addition to Hansen and Quinn all students should acquire copies of the dictionary and grammar, which we will use primarily in the second half of the course. These should all be easily attainable from the campus store.

H. W. Smyth. Greek Grammar (Harvard University Press 1956) ISBN 978-0674362505.

H.G. Liddell and R. Scott. An Intermediate Greek-English Lexicon (7th edition, Oxford University Press 1945) ISBN 978-0199102068.
or
H.G. Liddell and R.Scott. Abridged Greek Lexicon (Oxford University Press 1935) ISBN 978-0199102075.

For the second half of the the course students will purchase Greek texts based on their elective choices. Students will choose one of two prose electives (Plato, Chariton) and one of two poetry electives (Homer, Aeschylus). The bookstores will carry the relevant titles and students are advised to wait to purchase them until they know for sure which electives they will be taking. Should you choose to acquire elective texts in advance of your arrival in Berkeley, please make an effort to find the exact editions listed below. In addition to textbooks, there will be course readers for some of the electives.
