Translation and Discussion Group
We will be dedicating the majority of our meetings to the translation and discussion of Plato’s Alcibiades I.
As usual, we will gather every Wednesday from 4:30 PM to 6:00 PM (location: Cobb Hall, Room 301).
Our first meeting of the quarter will be Wednesday, October 9 (translation session).
(For those who haven’t got a chance to join our translation sessions, our format will involve assigning a small portion of the text in advance, and during our meetings, we will read out the Greek first, translate them, and engage in detailed discussions. We welcome participants of all levels of proficiency in Greek, so don’t hesitate to join us, even if you’re more interested in the discussion part with an English translation).
