These courses present light-hearted yet academically rigorous adventures in ancient Greek literature for students wanting to explore the original Greek of major authors like Homer and Herodotus, Sophocles and Thucydides, Euripides and Plato. Some previous knowledge is necessary (e.g. rusty A Level, or a degree). This weekend, the reading will be Homer, Odyssey books 21-22. An edition with running vocabulary is available: JACT: The Triumph of Odysseus (CUP, 1996)
