Those who can read Ancient Greek have access to a vast wealth of formative literary works in a variety of genres. In addition the language is an indispensable tool for students of the history and culture of the classical world, early Christianity, late antiquity, and the Byzantine empire. All original texts are inevitably diminished and distorted by translation. There is no substitute, ultimately, for direct confrontation.
The department offers sequential first-year beginners subjects in Greek upon which minor and major sequences may be built.
In some circumstances it may be possible to accommodate non-beginners within the department's program. Students with VCE Greek should consult with the departmental head prior to enrolment.
Intending honours and postgraduate students must again consult with the departmental head prior to enrolment. Every effort will be made to accommodate them.
