Dear all,

Seth Powell already sent out the Yogic Studies course offerings for the autumn, but I wanted to take the liberty to point out a YS course that may be of particular interest to members of this list, Greek-S 101: Ancient Greek for Sanskritists, which I will teach starting September 15.

I made a short video describing the course, which you can watch here; but in a nutshell: if you already know Sanskrit, you have an excellent basis for getting to grips with Ancient Greek. There is an enormous amount of overlap in the forms and their usage, and the main difference between the two languages (the rather more intricate rules of syntax that Greek has) is exactly what we will be discussing in detail.

Greek-S 101 covers all Ancient Greek grammar with the help of lots of custom-made resources; in 102, we will read Plato's Apology, and in 103 either Sophocles' Antigone or Euripides' Medea, both with readers I am making for each course. You can find all information on this sequence of courses at https://www.yogicstudies.com/greek-s-101.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

All my best,
    Antonia

PS: Our course 'Latin for Sanskritists' just ended two weeks ago; the third term was 12 weeks of reading Seneca's Letters and contrasting Hellenistic philosophies with some of the philosophical approaches that we find in ancient India.
