Description

A widely adopted textbook for first-year Classical Greek, Introduction to Greek has been rethought from the ground up in this third edition to make it even more effective and user friendly.

Features include:

• Streamlined coverage of grammar with fewer chapters
• Reorganised and clarified presentation of grammar
• A greater number and wider range of exercises
• Additional adapted and unadapted ancient sentences and readings
• Reduced vocabulary with focus on high-frequency words
• Extra self-tutorial translation exercises with an answer key
  

'Introduction to Greek, Third Edition is a major revision of, and significant improvement upon, the second edition. The third edition strengthens the few areas where the second edition was weak and adds some useful new features to make it more adaptable to different teaching approaches. Most importantly it is succinct and well designed, so that students can reasonably complete it during a standard two-semester course. The new edition should be extremely attractive to both faculty and students. It is unreservedly the textbook I plan to adopt the next time I teach first year Greek.' Michael G. Clark, Lafayette College
