Assignment for Friday, 12-09-16

Dear Intermediate Hellenists,

For Friday, December 9, please do the following

(1) Homework (not to turn in):
  • Read (or at least skim) in English the chapters "He advises caution..." (pp. 65–6) through "The enemy appear..." (pp. 89–91). As before, use the translation on the Perseus website, if nothing else (and if you do use Perseus, the blue arrows at top left let you advance from chapter 3 to chapter 8, where our Greek reading for today begins).
  • Read and translate "Cyrus' commands to Clearchus" (p. 91) and "A final review..." (pp. 91–2) in our Anabasis textbook..
Additional help, keyed to Groton's textbook (all on p. 64):
  • p. 91 line 2: φοβούμενος μή: the introduction to a clause of fearing (Gr. 45, #264, pp. 331–2); μή, though it looks like "not," should be translated as "that."
