Course objectives
Continuation of the normative grammar of the Attic dialect of Ancient Greek. The aim of the course is to examine the most of Ancient Greek morphology and the basics of syntax so that the student would be able to read the original texts (only with the help of a dictionary).
At the end of the course students should be able to reproduce grammatical rules and paradigms studied in the course (see syllabus of the course); apply grammatical rules in translating sentences into Greek and into Czech; describe the grammatical structure of a clause and distinguish morphological and syntactic devices used in the sentence; record selected vocabulary (with the emphasis on verbs); use synonymous means to express selected grammatical phenomena.
