Synopsis

This book is a grammatical reference guide to writing in Ancient Greek. It is written from the perspective of a learner and covers most grammatical structures that the author presumes will be encountered. The volume of material is indicative of the complexity of the language. The author's stated aims are to provide a resource that explains grammar clearly and to challenge common approaches to studying the language. Of particular interest is the author's focus on the radical meanings of prepositions in ancient Greek. These meanings are frequently overlooked or ignored by learners which leads to a shallow understanding of vocabulary usage. The author attempts to not only describe grammatical rules but to provide a coherent framework for understanding the entirety of the language.
