In this course we will read selections from Plato’s Symposium—a series of philosophical speeches about love—in Greek. The course is appropriate for anyone who has taken at least a year’s worth of Greek (including the Graecum). We will start by translating a large portion of Socrates’ speech, and then see how much time is left to translate other parts of the dialogue. We will primarily translate into English, but you are welcome to translate first into German and then English, and we can discuss appropriate German translations. |
