Learn ancient Greek : a lively introduction to reading the language

Peter Jones (1998)

With enthusiasm and wry wit, author Jones takes you step by step through the rudiments of the Western World's first great language - the medium of Plato and the New Testament - with special emphasis on related words in English.

He introduces the Greek alphabet, explains each grammar point in layman's terms, gives plenty of study hints, provides answers for the exercises, and presents a "to-do" list at the end of most chapters.

Extracts chosen from such authors as Plato, Sophocles, and Thucydides are included and a discussion of Greek history and culture is provided in each chapter.
