Greek in Glacier™ is a summer program for the intensive study of Greek and Latin located in the northwest primitive corner of Glacier National Park in NW Montana. Classes are held within walking distance of the village site of Polebridge, MT–an off the grid community consisting of three commercial establishments (the Polebridge Mercantile & Bakery, the Northern Lights Saloon, and the North Fork Hostel) surrounded by a scattered assortment of cabins both rental and private. See bottom for our LATIN offering! Introduction to Ancient Greek — Iliad, Book I June 16-July 8: $ 960 • Meeting 5 days a week for 4 hours each day (= 64 hours total instruction), this course will begin with the Greek alphabet and progress through the first 47 lessons of Clyde Pharr, Homeric Greek: A book for beginners. By the end of the course you will have a familiarity with the overall structure of Ancient Greek morphology and grammar, will have read no less than the first 232 lines of Homers Iliad and stand positioned to move easily to the reading Ionic, Attic, or New Testament Greek. Herodotus Book I — drop-ins welcome July 13 - August 31: $ 540 • Meeting 4 days a week for 3 hours (= 36 hours total instruction), this course will transition students of the Introductory Course — or those with the equivalent of a collegiate Elementary Greek course — out of the art-dialect of the Homeric poems and into the mature Ionic prose of Herodotus. Plato’s Crito — drop-ins welcome August 3 - August 12: $ 360 • Meeting 5 days a week for 3 hours (= 24 hours total instruction), this course will transition students of the Introductory Course — or those with the equivalent of a collegiate Elementary Greek course — into the Attic dialect. Horace, Odes — drop-ins welcome July 13 - August 12: $ 90/week • Meeting 3 days a week for 2 hours, this more leisurely course — allowing more time to hike, bike and explore the Park — will cover 2 to 4 poems per meeting. Depending on the capacities of the participants, we hope to cover at least the First Books of the Odes. (To facilitate preparation running vocabularies will be provided for evening and morning study.)
