Ancient Greek is like Latin, only for Greek. Just to say, you will learn more Greek in this class than in the Latin class. Therefore, it is better, Muahaha.

Things you learn:

The circle of the hero "Always this is true" Declensions "Four ways to say 'ho" Conjugation "To come continually in the past" A little history "Suicide" Some mythology "It's all about the incest" The Odyssey "Helen is a shameless whore" Meter "Teenybopper Disco Queen Dactyllic Hexameter" The first ten lines of the Odyssey in Greek "Nepios" Philosophy "Is there a form for a spork...?" Art "karls corner" And more...
