The primary aim of the A-level course is to enable students to read the most interesting and important Greek authors with competence, understanding and enjoyment. A wide range of authors is tackled, which may include Thucydides, Homer, Euripides, Sophocles and Aristophanes; students are asked to prepare translations at home which are then gone over in class. Work on literary appreciation is also done, mainly through class discussion. There will also be two set books to prepare each year for examination purposes. In addition, students continue with language work, including translation from English into Greek, which is taught from scratch. Time is also devoted to the cultural/historical background to the set texts.
