Synopsis
Combining the best features of traditional and modern methods, Athenaze provides a unique course of instruction that allows students to read connected Greek narrative from an early stage, and guides them to the point where they can read complete classical texts. There is a fictional narrative about an Attic farmer's family placed in precise historical context (432 BC). The narrative is interwoven with tales from mythology and the Persian Wars, and gradually gives way to extracts from Herodotus, Plato, and Thucydides. Each chapter includes a full explanation of new vocabulary and grammar, and an essay on relevant aspects of ancient Greek culture and history. Exercises in translation from English to Greek are integrated throughout.

Paperback. Condition: Fair. Athenaze ? An Introduction to Ancient Greek, Book II (1991) by Maurice Balme & Gilbert Lawall (Oxford University Press) Still trudging through the adventures of young Athenian lads and their goats? Then you?ll need Book II of this venerable course in Ancient Greek. Maurice Balme and Gilbert Lawall carry on where Book I left off, offering more stories, grammar, and exercises than any sane person could possibly want. First published by the mighty Oxford University Press in 1991, this volume continues to introduce students to the language of Plato and Homer in bite-sized narrative chunks ? with just enough grammar drills to make you question your life choices. Expect passages that grow steadily more authentic, cultural notes that will have you longing for amphorae of wine, and a level of scholarly thoroughness only the Oxbridge crowd could muster. Our copy comes pre-loved, bearing all the noble scars of study: dog-eared pages, underlinings, and perhaps the faint smell of library dust. In short, a proper Crappy Old Book ? worn but worthy, and still fully capable of teaching you Ancient Greek if you?re brave enough to open it. This is an ex-school book from Old Palace school in Croydon. Seller Inventory # 4256
