Combined (cooperation and translation exams)

Will be announced in the course.

We'll start with Xenophon's "Anabasis". For voluntary preparation over the summer, it is recommended to work through at least book 1 thoroughly in self-study (i.e. to translate independently and to find unclear passages with the help of dictionaries, grammars, commentaries and, if necessary, translations).

For the Anabasis there is the great scientific commentary by Otto Lendle (Darmstadt 1995); for your purposes, however, the notes in older school editions will usually suffice (from the time when whole books were read in Greek lessons, online e.g. at https://archive.org/details/anabasisfrdensc00xenogoog/page/n63/mode/2up).
