Assignment for Friday, 12-02-16

Dear Intermediate Hellenists,

NOTE: This assignment has reading, homework to turn in, and homework not to turn in. Please read this post carefully!

For Friday, December 2, please do the following

(1) Reading: Groton, Lesson 41, on the following forms and concepts. Note any questions along the way.

• The verb φημί (#243, pp. 295–6);
• Indirect discourse with infinitive (#244, pp. 297–9); and
• Vocabulary for Lesson 41 (#245, p. 299).

(2) Homework (to turn in):

• Greek-to-English Sentences 1–7 ONLY (#246, p. 300).

(3) Homework (not to turn in):

• Read (or at least skim) in English the chapters "The march begins" (p. 56) through "Cyrus and the Cilician king come to terms" (p. 63). Use the translation on the Perseus website, if nothing else (use the "load Greek" feature at right to help orient yourself in the translation).
  
• Read and translate "Mutiny at Tarsus" (p. 64) in our Anabasis textbook. This section, though brief, will test your comprehension of Gr. 41; in addition, you will want to have the forms of the verb εἶμι (Gr. 40) close at hand.

Additional help, keyed to Groton's textbook (all on p. 64):

• line 8: ἐπεὶ ἄρξαιντο: works like the protasis of a past general condition (Gr. 37, #225 C.1, p. 264); see commentary for further remarks.

• line 9–10: μὴ καταπετρωθῆναι: with ἐξέφυγε, describes what it was Clearchus narrowly escaped; translate: "(escaped) from being..."

• line 12: ἑστώς: perfect (second) active participle of ἵστημι (Gr. 46, # 269, p. 340).
