GREEK 520 A: Seminar

We will read A Hellenistic Anthology (Second Edition), edited by Neil Hopkinson, plus other readings from Callimachus on the PhD reading list. There will be readings from the secondary literature and occasional forays into the Roman reception. We will translate passages in class, there will be occasional oral reports, and a final paper on a topic to be determined.

Hellenistic literature can be challenging to read, but Hopkinson's commentary makes it most approachable. As you will discover, Roman literature is highly indebted to Greek writers of the Hellenistic period.

I don't have a syllabus yet but will come up with one closer to the winter quarter. Please don't hesitate to let me know if you have any questions: jjc@uw.edu.
