Intermediate Greek: Aeschylus

In this course, we will read a very great tragedy, Aeschylus' Eumenides. We will use the edition and commentary of A. Sommerstein (Cambridge 1989). My assumption will be that this is the first Greek tragedy in Greek for almost all students in the class, and we will proceed extremely carefully and thoroughly, covering as much of the text as we can in a short quarter.
