Lendon is a treat. His class is not. If you take this class, be prepared for an extremely large amount of reading. If you are ok with that then you will definitely enjoy the class. He makes you want to go to lecture!

Great class. The professor is highly entertaining and really knows his stuff. The class is great but there is a ton of reading. If you can push through the reading the class is definitely worth it.

Overall it isn't as hard as he makes it out to be. Just do the reading and keep good notes and you will be fine. There is a big emphasis on the two exams, so get a study group together

The class was extremely interesting; Lendon is definitely passionate about Greek history and he knows what he's talking about. Readings were intense and I wouldn't recommending taking this class with other reading intensive courses because of the nature of the reading (a lot of scattered/difficult names, dates, and places) but it will definitely improve your skills as a history major.

Hard class with lots and lots of reading but really enjoyable!

Definitely do the reading. There is reading for lecture and additional reading for discussion. This class requires attendance and thorough reading to get a B. Lendon is a very enthusiastic lecturer and makes the class worthwhile.

Very entertaining lectures! Not as scary as he may initially seem

Great class, Lendon is hilarious and really knowledgeable and accessible. There is a ton of reading and if you don't do basically all of it you will not do well on the midterm and final, but the readings themselves are mostly interesting and not too difficult. Definitely go to lecture if for no other reason than to hear Lendon because he is great, although his lectures are very much a repeat of most of the stuff covered in the readings. Definitely a great class, worth the workload. Not hard to get a good grade in if you put in the effort.

Great class. Tough but worthwhile.

The class has a lot of reading involved, but the material is very easy to read if you are at all interested in Ancient Greek history. Prof Lendon is also a great speaker and is always prepared for lecture. He always makes the lectures interesting by building in a joke in the beginning of class and having many examples of humorous Greek legends and stories to relate to the material we are discussing, in fact Lendon's lecture was the first class I did not fall asleep in.
