An introduction to the dialects of Ancient Greek, with the aim of preparing students to read Greek dialect literature (especially CLASGG26 Greek Lyric Poetry). It includes a basic review of Greek historical phonology and morphology. This course introduces the language, script and history of the ancient Greek dialects, with a focus on literary dialect. It also serves as an introduction to Indo-European studies. A range of both literary texts and epigraphic texts will be studied: core topics will include the history of writing in the ancient Aegean and the graphic representation of Greek; the relationship between epigraphic and literary language; the dialectal affiliations of Homeric Greek; literary Aeolic, Doric, and Ionic; the Attic-Ionic koine; principles of dialectology and modern views on the interrelationship of the Greek dialects.
A course packet is provided.  Additional material and reading is delivered through the Moodle page. A week-by-week breakdown of work is given on the Moodle page.
