Greek 229: Esaias in the LXX (selections)

Description: In this class we’ll be reading and discussing selections from the LXX text of Esaias (that is, the prophet Isaiah). We’ll be reading through the Greek text throughout the term, while discussing it in a Q&A mode in Greek during the weekly seminars. Discussion will range from the textual to the literary and theological. Outside the weekly class, participants will be expected to read sections of the text themselves, with email support. Experience in spoken Greek is not necessarily required but students should be aware that the seminars will be conducted in spoken ancient Greek, at a level appropriate to the participants. Classes will be offered via Zoom. You’ll need decent internet, and preferably a headset or microphone and relatively quiet workspace.
