The Attic Orators
L09 432 Greek
Attic oratory consists of a rich body of literature in which style was paramount, and provides vital evidence for Athenian (and Greek) culture, politics, mores, institutions, thought, and history. This course will survey a representative-and important-sample of speeches from classical Athenian oratory, and will give special attention to the social, legal and political context of these speeches. In addition, the class will focus on improving students' command of syntax, vocabulary and idiom as the basis for further development as well as the study of different orators and their individual style. Prerequisites: Greek 318C or permission of instructor and sophomore standing or above. (Interested freshmen should consult the instructor and cannot register without permission.) 3 units.
