This course examines the major prose authors of Ancient Greek by reading both ancient accounts of their style and recent linguistic scholarship covering the syntactic and pragmatic issues relevant to the understanding of prose style (e.g. word order, particle use). Rather than approaching the topic through composition, the class will read selections from the ancient authors in close conjunction with pertinent linguistic and stylistic literature.

This course will explore the language of Greek epic poetry (chiefly Homer, but also Hesiod, the Hymns, and Apollonius). What is the nature of the epic Kunstsprache? How does its syntax differ from that of Classical Attic? To what extent can linguistic features be used to date the poems? How much flexibility does the poet have in the use of formulas? How do later poets manipulate the traditional linguistic patterns inherited from earlier epic?

Demosthenes has long enjoyed a reputation as the best of the Greek orators - a view found, for instance, in Cicero, who knew a thing or two about giving a speech. Through close reading of the First and Third Philippics, On the Crown, and selections from other speeches, together with the necessary secondary literature, this course will examine what it is about Demosthenes' language, style, and rhetoric that led to his preeminence in the field.

Addressing the gods in the form of a hymn was one of the central elements of Greek religious rituals and a poem was thought to be a valuable gift to the gods. This course will offer a survey of the major hymnic genres, from rhapsodic 'Homeric' hymns, through inscriptional cult hymns, lyric monody, choral lyric, Hellenistic hymns of Callimachus, magical hymns, Orphic hymns, and prose hymns.
