These are complemented with civilization classes that foster the understanding of ancient Mediterranean history and culture. McGill University stands at the foot of Mount Royal in the culturally dynamic and bilingual city of Montreal, and in close proximity to Ottawa and Quebec City.

For thirty-three years, Intensive Summer Greek at UT Austin has been giving students of diverse backgrounds and interests a rapid and deep understanding of the structure of the Greek language and a love of Greek prose and poetry. You need have no previous knowledge of Greek. If you have had a semester or two or more, the special approach in this course will strengthen your grasp of how Greek works and why it is so subtle a vehicle for conveying ideas.

You will use *Lexis*, a unique textbook and reader designed by the late Gareth Morgan. All of its exercises are based on full passages of real, unaltered and unabbreviated Classical Greek. First readings of Ionic Greek will make you aware of word formation, and that knowledge will enable you to acquire vocabulary quickly. Ionic Greek also is a main component of the Homeric dialect. Once you learn it, you can move easily forward to standard Attic authors and Biblical Greek and backward to Greek epic verse.

You will not read one dreary practice sentence made up in clever desperation or desperate ingenuity. By the sixth day, you will be reading continuous pure Herodotus. All students who successfully complete the course will be well prepared for sophomore-level classes and dedicated students from past intensive courses have been able to go into classes at higher levels. Students of other subjects have used Greek right away to enrich and inform their studies.

Students must register for both GK W804 and W412. The course runs through both summer sessions. It meets for five hours each day for about fifty class days, and, if satisfactorily completed, counts for 12 semester hours. Classes working under these language-saturation conditions have achieved an enthusiasm and spirit conducive to an unusually rich learning experience. Usually, in the second half, besides ample grammar review, we read Homer's Odyssey IX, Euripides' Medea, Plato's Apology, and some supplementary readings handed out in class.

CLCV 208 - Classical Literatures & Beyond: Sappho in the Western Literary Imagination

SUMMER SCHOOL
For 125 years Wellesley College has been providing undergraduates with one of the finest liberal arts educations in the world.  In 2009, Wellesley College Summer School will once again open its doors for the tenth year, and you have the opportunity to become a part of a distinguished tradition of engaged learning and vibrant community.

Our Summer School is a co-educational program, featuring full credit courses drawn from the regular Wellesley curriculum.  It is open to all college students, college graduates as well as eligible commuting high school juniors and seniors.  Wellesley College Summer School combines academic excellence with a spectacular campus, state-of-the-art facilities and a convenient location close to Boston.

COURSE
Who was Sappho? Woman. Poet. “The original lesbian.” And what is the connection among these three identities? The fragments of her poetry reveal a captivating, personal voice. Is this a window onto ancient Greece, or literary deceit? This course addresses such questions as we read the fragmentary remains of Sappho's poetry and discover what these poems, this woman, meant to later writers. We will study the phenomena of allusion, intertextuality and influence as we explore the reception of Sappho in the literary imagination of poets and artists over two millennia. Distribution: Language and Literature

Credit: 1.0 (4 sem. hrs.)
Course Fee: $2000
Lectures: M, T, TH 1:20 - 4:00 p.m. (22 June - 17 July 2009)
