Greek Upper Intermediate I – Term Time Class

Athenaze Chapters 17–19

These Upper-Intermediate Ancient Greek lessons are designed for students who have read the first volume of Athenaze and/or have thoroughly learnt the present tense and the aorist in all thematic verbs. Students should be able comfortably to read at least 2 pages per hour of Greek and should have around 1300 words of active vocabulary. At this level, students will learn the active and middle future in all their forms, and will meet verbs in -μι, such as τίθημι, εἶμι and δίδωμι, going on to meet ἵστημι and ἵημι. They will deepen their knowledge of the genitive absolute and begin the subjunctive, reading about medicine and religion in Ancient Greece and paraphrasing Johannes Chrysostomus, Aeschylus and Euripides, before moving into extracts from Greek novels such as Daphnis and Chloe.
