Greek

As studied in the context of the Classics, Philosophy, and Religious Studies programs at Lewis & Clark, Ancient Greek is the ancient language of the great texts of antiquity from Homer, Aeschylus, Euripides and Thucydides to the New Testament to the works of Byzantine Greek authors. Its temporal range is from the eighth century BCE to the fifteenth century CE. Thus learning Ancient Greek provides students access in the primary language to many of the most treasured texts in human history.

  • I think of the liberal arts as a setting in which there is an excellent support system aiding you as perspectives are challenged and changed. It’s exciting, difficult, and rewarding.

  • At Lewis & Clark, I learned that I wanted to use my knowledge to build things, so I thought about a path toward engineering. I also thought that having a strong physics background would be invaluable. Now that I’m in graduate school for robotics engineering, I can say this hypothesis was correct.
