Main themes

Reading and commentary of a selection of representative works of classical Greek literature, according to a given theme.
The reading will be accompanied by grammatical explanations according to the needs of the students and the characteristics of the texts read.

Learning outcomes

At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to :
1	translate into literary French representative texts of classical Greek literature;
2	analyze these texts grammatically;
3	produce a structured and argued commentary on one or more works of Greek literature, including literary, historicaland stylistic considerations.

Content

The authors chosen for the course are Aristophanes (Lysistrata) and Euripides (The Trojan Women). After an introduction situating the author and his work, the translation is clarified grammatically and accompanied by a commentary.

Teaching methods

The translations prepared by the student will be corrected and commented during the course. If necessary specific grammar points will be revised.

Evaluation methods

Oral exam on :

• Translation of extracts seen in class (35%)
• Grammatical analysis (30%)
• Discussion of a written personal commentary, due on the first day of the session (35%)

Partial examination in January, with the possibility of retaking in June if unsuccessful. In September, the whole course is to be presented. The arrangements are the same for both terms.
For each examination session (January and June), the final mark will be based on the combined results of the two components (written assignment and oral examination). To pass the examination, students must achieve a mark of at least 40% in each assessment component. Similarly, a mark of less than 40% in either the January or June session will result in a fail mark for the module as a whole.

Other information

Generative artificial intelligence (GAI), where used, must be employed responsibly and in accordance with the principles of academic and scientific integrity. As scientific integrity requires that sources be cited, the use of GAI must always be clearly and fully acknowledged.
The acceptable uses of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) in accordance with academic standards are set out in the document: Utilisation des Intelligences Artificielles Génératives. Note à l’attention des étudiantes et étudiants de l’UCLouvain
Whether or not it is disclosed, the presumed use of GAI tools will be considered a breach of academic standards where it results in:

• citing bibliographical sources to support assertions without the sources in question having been consulted and/or without there being a close link between these assertions and the ideas developed in those sources,
• including in the bibliography references whose validity has not been verified or which do not exist at all.

In the event of suspected inappropriate use of the IAG, the course coordinator(s) may verify compliance with the principle of authenticity of the work submitted by the student and, pursuant to Article 148 of the RGEE, subject to the agreement of the examination board, arrange for a supplementary assessment to be carried out.
Any unauthorised use of the IAG may be considered an irregularity within the meaning of Article 107 of the RGEE (UCLouvain).
Rules regarding plagiarism
In their work, students must demonstrate a thorough understanding of the rules governing bibliographic referencing; to avoid being suspected of plagiarism, they must ensure that they

• DO NOT copy text without using quotation marks and/or without citing the source;
• DO NOT reproduce a graph, data, illustrations, etc. without citing the source;
• DO NOT rephrase or summarise an author’s original idea without citing the source;
• DO NOT translate a source, in whole or in part, without referencing it;
• DO NOT use another person’s work and present it as their own (even if the author of the work has given their consent);
• DO NOT purchase an academic paper.

See https://www.uclouvain.be/fr/uss/lutter-contre-le-plagiat
This definition supplements that set out in Article 107 §2 of the RGEE and constitutes a specific provision within the meaning of paragraph 3 of the same article.
Any student who fails to comply with the academic referencing standards set out above is liable, in the event of any irregularity or plagiarism being identified by the examination board, to academic sanctions as detailed in the RGEE (Section 7).
