Ancient Greek for Beginners

Have you ever wanted to read The Odyssey or the New Testament in the original language? By the end of this fast-paced 10-week course (Saturdays, Jan. 10 - Mar. 14, from 10 - 11:30 AM), you will be able to read and write (and speak!) basic sentences in Ancient Greek as it was spoken in Athens around 500 BCE. (It will not help you order a coffee in Greece!) This course is open to all ages and is ideal for those who have never studied Ancient Greek before.

About the Instructor:
