Study recommendations

1 Upvotes

Hi, I’m not sure if this is the right place to post this but I’m studying higher classical studies this year. The course includes religion and belief in classical Greece and religion and belief in the Roman world. I was wondering if anyone had any book recommendations to help with this? I understand that the topics are quite vague but if there’s any books or study materials explaining the basics of Greek and Roman religions, they would be a massive help. Also if there are any students who have studied this any help on how you revised it would be greatly appreciated:)

Offering tutoring in Ancient Greek and Latin.

Offering tutoring in Ancient Greek and Latin.

Offering tutoring in Greek (Attic, Koine, Homeric) and Latin

Hello!

I am a native Greek speaker and a graduate of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA), Department of Classics. I have also worked in my apprenticeship in Historical and Palaeographical Archive of the Cultural Foundation of the National Bank of Greece (MIET) as a curator for manuscripts (mainly psalters of the Comnenian era).

I offer online tutoring in Attic Greek, Koine Greek, Homeric Greek and Latin.

Whether you are a complete beginner or already have some knowledge of the language, I can help with grammar, syntax, translation and reading the original texts.

For Koine Greek, I can help with reading the New Testament and Septuagint in the original.

For Attic and Homeric Greek, we can work directly with the classical authors, depending on your level and interests. The same applies to Latin.

I currently have some availability for October and am looking to take on a few more students.

Lessons are normally two hours, and I offer a free 30-minute introductory lesson first, so that we can discuss your level, what you would like to study, and how I can help you.

If you are interested, feel free to send me a message and tell me a little about yourself, your level and what you would like to study.

Thank you!

What books are essential for becoming a self-taught learner?

240 Upvotes

If you could recommend only the most essential books for someone who wants to become an effective autodidact, which ones would you choose?

I'm looking for books that teach you how to learn independently, think critically, build a solid foundation of knowledge, and master new subjects without relying on formal education.

Everyone who sees this post: please leave your recommendations in the comments and explain briefly why you consider each book essential. I'd love to hear your suggestions!

CE Newbie Question Classical education curriculum focussed towards East

19 Upvotes

So far, I have been able to find only one genuinely East-focused classical curriculum: St. John’s College’s Eastern Classics program. I’m looking for more programs with a similar Great Books/classical-curriculum approach, but focused on China, India, the Middle East, or ideally a combination of these traditions.

Also, I find only Western universities offering classical education options. Are there any other universities outside US, EUROPE offering such degrees and courses? Thanks.

CE Newbie Question Thoughts on Mortimer Adler?

35 Upvotes

Hey guys, I made a post yesterday asking about people's thoughts on Will Durant and I'm very grateful for the well-thought-out responses! I'm actually curious about another (perhaps similar) thinker - Mortimer Adler. I haven't actually read anything by him, but I have listened to a few of his talks on Aristotle and I'm aware he wrote a number of books like "Aristotle for Everybody" and "How to Read a Book." I enjoy him as a speaker and am curious if he's taken seriously.
