GRATIAS!! Rick It is indeed difficult to find higher-level courses, especially on the Greek side. At the UofC we will offer Greek and Latin at both the beginning and intermediate levels, courses of nine weeks each (labelled as three 3-week sequences, equivalent to the 3 quarters of courses that make up a full academic year). The intermediate sequences will probably again do Plato, tragedy, and Homer for three weeks each on the Greek side; the Latin program is more variable, I believe, but included Seneca (Phaedra), Cicero, and Ovid this year. A fuller description of this past year's summer program can be found at http://humanities.uchicago.edu/classics/Programs/summer.html I hope that CUNY will offer an upper-level Greek program again next year. It is the only other institution I am aware of that offers intensive advanced Greek (i.e., meeting every day, morning and afternoon). Program (this year's) can be found at http://web.gsuc.cuny.edu/dept/class/lgi.htm The general clearing house for all summer courses is maintained by Debra Hamel (brava!): http://home.earthlink.net/~hambrosia/summer/ If I have any further suggestions to improve that wonderful resource, it would be to add an index for languages/levels (and start/end dates?). There are tons of beginning Latin programs out there, lots of beginning Greek, but much less of anything else.
