Synopsis

Practice Greek Prose with guided exercises that mirror Xenophon’s style and core constructions.

Designed as an accompaniment to the First Book of the Anabasis, this workbook offers easy sentences that align with the Xenophon text. Each section pairs eight vocabulary items with two English paragraphs to practice speaking, reading, and writing. The goal is to build familiarity with Attic Greek through repetition and practical use.

The explanations are concise and focused on usable language, so learners can progress without getting bogged down in abstruse rules. The book includes an English–Greek vocabulary, an irregular-verb index, and a helpful index to principal grammatical notes for quick reference.

• Chapter-by-chapter exercises that match the Anabasis content
• Two-paragraph structure: oral practice and written composition
• Glossaries and verb lists to reinforce daily language use
• Notes and guidance aimed at steady, natural learning progress

Ideal for students who want a practical and craft-focused approach to ancient Greek, especially those using the Anabasis as a model.
