Assignment for Wednesday, 12-14-16

Dear Intermediate Hellenists,

For our last class on Wednesday, December 14, please do the following

(1) Homework (not to turn in):
  • Read (or at least skim) in English the chapters "The Greek attack routs the enemy" and  "The Greek force in danger of being outflanked" (pp. 92–3). As before, use the translation on the Perseus website, if nothing else.
  • Read and translate "Cyrus attacks the Persian center and wounds the king" and "Cyrus and many of his train fall in battle" (pp. 93–4) in our Anabasis textbook. For once, I have no additional help to give, so be sure to make use of your notes.
NOTE: I did notice that some of the translations last class closely resembled the Perseus translation. Please make sure that you are working from the Greek and not using the English as a crutch.
