Welcome to Day 1 of CB22x 'The Ancient Greek Hero'!

We're delighted you've chosen to join us on this journey. Below is some important information about the course:

• The textbooks, The Ancient Greek Hero in 24 Hours and the Sourcebook of Ancient Greek Texts, are now available! They can be found under the "H24H" and "Sourcebook" tabs in the main navigation bar at the top of the page.
• The dialogue videos for Hour 0 have been posted! You can access them under the "Courseware" tab in the main navigation bar. For this first session, you are asked to read "Introduction to the Book" and "Introduction to Homeric Poetry" (= Hour 0) in h24h and to begin a fast-reading of Iliad scroll I. All reading assignments for Hours 0 through 24 are available in the course Syllabus.
• Beginning on Monday, March 18, two Hours of the course will be released per week (one on Monday, and one on Thursday). We strongly recommend completing the reading assignments for each Hour before watching the videos.
• The first Assessments will accompany Hour 1. These will be made up of brief Question sets and lengthier Text Annotation exercises. Both are designed to promote engagement with the texts and concepts we are studying in this course. An explanation of how to negotiate the Annotation exercises will be available on the "Course Info" page prior to the release of Hour 1.

As always, further announcements will be posted to the "Course Info" page. We will be happy to answer questions in the course discussion forums . Once again, thank you for being part of this grand adventure!

Sincerely,

CB22x Course Staff

Important Note on the Courseware Video Player
It's come to our attention through the class discussion boards that many participants may not be seeing all of the course videos. For example, Hour 0 contains 8 videos, and Hour 1 has 11 videos. The linear layout of the content within sections, shown in the diagram below, can be tricky, so it's important that you take special care to watch, read, or complete everything on each page.

Dear participants,
In the next day or two we will post the Core Vocabulary, a glossary of terms which are transliterated from the ancient Greek into English and which are tracked in the Sourcebook. This is a very important tool both for our current learning project and for your future reading. It is not a tool for memorizing vocabulary. Rather, it is meant to help us figure out how these key terms work in their poetic contexts. Furthermore, as we begin to explore the way these Core Vocabulary terms relate to each other, we will begin to understand the use of ancient Greek diction as an exquisite, perfected system of communication.
We will post an announcement on the Course Info Page when it goes up. Stay tuned!
Best, Claudia

今天哈佛那边发来信息。
注册该课程的部分中国同学（境外留学生）已经发起将课程视频的字幕转换为中文。
由于哈佛和麻省理工的edX尚无推出中文的前例，这一努力可能要等课程结束之后方能实现。
大家目前还是努力跟 ...

还是很好的，如果有没听懂的地方可以回头再看中文的，嘿嘿

After submission of your responses to the Question Set and Close Reading Exercise, here is a general question that I would like for you to think about and to discuss with each other and with me in our online Discussion. Consider in Hour 4 Text A (Pindar Isthmian 8.56-62) the lament of the Muses about the death of Achilles, which is parallel to what we read in Hour 4 Text H about the lament of the Nereids (= the daughters of the Old One of the Sea, led by Thetis) about the death of Achilles (Odyssey xxiv 58-64). In Text H, we see that both the Muses and the Nereids (led by Thetis) lament Achilles at his funeral. So how does the lament of Thetis in Text G (Iliad XVIII 54-64), which is the text that we have just analyzed, preview the laments that both the Muses and the Nereids (led by Thetis) will sing at the funeral of Achilles?

In an effort to promote learning and interaction around the assessments, we are creating a new thread for each question set and close reading exercise. We will open the discussion thread for a given Hour's assessments when the next Hour has been posted. So since Hour 4 was just released yesterday, we have posted six discussion threads, one for each of the assessments in Hours 1-3. Within those threads you can discuss answers openly, so participants who haven't yet done the assessments shouldn't read those threads. Likewise, since new participants are free to enroll from now through late June, please do not "give away" answers on other threads.
The purpose of these threads is to generate further intellectual community among our members and to promote discussion of content. If you have technical issues with a question set or close reading exercise set, please post those concerns in the general Discussion.
