At this level, you will develop your skills in reading Greek using an unadapted Greek text in prose or verse (the choice will depend on staff availability and preferences). As well as grammatical (syntactic, morphological, phonological) analysis of the text, you will start to read the text as a piece of literature, paying attention to how linguistic forms shape literary meaning and understanding. As well as lexica and grammars, you will become familiar with the use of commentaries to help understand a text’s meaning; you may also be set secondary scholarship to read.
