I just noticed that Iowa State offers a course in Classical Greek Prose
Composition. Here is the entry from their web page:

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Greek 306. Classical Greek Prose Composition.

(2-0) Cr. 2. S.

Prereq: 201, concurrent enrollment in 342.

Practice in expressive writing with emphasis on styles and idiomatic usage.

Is this a sensible thing to do? Does anybody practice writing texts in Koine
Greek?
