Greek 'aphorme': a jumping off point, a place to start.
Please note that these 'aphormai' are not class notes, or review notes, or a 'cheat-sheet', but a simple and brief checklist of some of the names, terms etc. that come under the main topics we have covered (or are about to cover), keyed to some of the relevant chapters in Robert Graves, McKendrick's 'Greek Stones Speak', as well as Morford & Lenardon's 'Classical Mythology', and Peter Levi's 'Atlas of the Greek World'. Primary sources are listed, sort of in a middle column, at appropriate points - texts that are on our Reading Schedule are printed in bold, other texts where you might go for additional reading are printed in non-bold.
Use the Aphormai as their name suggests, as jumping off points or prompts into your own notes, and into other texts for further study.
There are
four pages of Aphormai which together cover the whole class to date (November 15, 2006).
