Σύνοδος ἑλληνική - Synodos hellènikè
Polis Institute, Jerusalem, in association with HVMANITAS
hosted by Christendom College (Front Royal, VA)
Anyone with at least intermediate knowledge of ancient Greek and an interest in developing active competence in the language is invited to the fourth Σύνοδος ἑλληνική, previously at the University of Kentucky and now hosted by Christendom College in Front Royal, VA. The σύνοδος is organized by the Polis Institute, Jerusalem, in association with HVMANITAS. For one week, we will use ancient Greek as our only language of communication to talk about everyday objects and events and to discuss selections from a wide variety of ancient Greek texts. This sort of immersion experience will benefit a variety of ancient Greek users: students who wish to read ancient Greek more quickly and without automatically producing an English translation; teachers who wish to introduce oral and/or aural ancient Greek into their classrooms; and anyone who wishes to encounter ancient Greek in a way that might be different from his or her previous experiences. Those with prior experience – either minimal or extensive – speaking ancient Greek are most welcome, as are those who have never spoken ancient Greek at all. During the week of the σύνοδος, participants use only Greek to communicate with each other and with the facilitators.
Please note, however, that the σύνοδος is not designed for people still learning the elements of Greek grammar. Anyone unsure about whether the σύνοδος is a good fit for his or her background should feel free to apply and allow the organizers to judge based on the application.
