This course provides a systematic review of Greek morphology, with special attention to the verb system, and serves as an introduction to the more advanced study of Greek grammar. Reference is made to dialect forms and to historical and comparative grammar, as necessary, to explain particular forms and processes. No specific primary sources are read, but students may be encouraged to read particular texts which illustrate a certain phenomenon. Selections from melic, iambic, elegiac, and choral poetry. Due to the fragmentary state of some of the Greek material, equivalent meters used in Latin poetry are occasionally referred to.
