The Greek Reading Group engages in reading, translating, and discussing historically significant philosophical writings in the original ancient Greek. The purpose of the group is to maintain, through practice and discussion, a high level of expertise in the translation of Greek philosophical texts and, through the critical study of those texts, a better understanding of the ancient philosophical views expressed by them.

The group is led by Prof. Tim Roche and meets once a week throughout the academic year. Members of the group are limited to graduate students and faculty with advanced training in ancient Greek.
