How good does two years of greek look on a transcript?

I am looking at electives for next year (junior year) and am considering taking greek as a third language, next to english and spanish. I heard the class is rigorous and not exactly a slacker class like some other electives. Do you think the class is worth taking (I go to a somewhat scholarly high school with rigorous academics)?How good does two years of greek look on a transcript?
Focus on the two languages you've got and ace both of them. Classical Greek is no joke; I had two years of it along with four years of Latin in high school and although I did quite well, I don't recommend it unless you have a burning passion for antiquity, mythology and epic poetry.





I'd say you're full up on the language side; why not take physics or calculus to round yourself out a little? (But only if you can ace them.)





If not, try to get out of it and put yourself into some great extracurricular activities. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, y'know.
