This book prepares students to read Greek in less than a year by presenting basic traditional grammar without frills and by introducing real Greek written by ancient Greeks, from the first day of study. The second edition retains all the features of the first but is more streamlined, easier on the eyes, moregender-inclusive, and altogether more 21st century. It is supported by a Web site for teachers and learners at http://worldwidegreek.com.

Product description

Review

"...her approach brings students to competency quickly and efficiently. The new version improves what was already a good text, keeping the many exercise sentences, providing a realistic selection of 'real Greek' readings with translation aids conveniently below. The proof is in the pudding: after doing beginning Greek with Luschnig's text, my Greek students have been able to move easily to the second year reading classes in either Euripides or Plato." -- Karelisa Hartigan, Department of Classics, University of Florida. "...offers a thorough and clear account of grammar and syntax, copious exercises for practice, and a wonderful array of brief passages from ancient authors for translation and discussion. My students and I have used the text happily for years, and this new edition is even better than its predecessor." -- Deborah H Roberts, William R Kennan Jr Professor of Comparative Literature and Classics, Haverford College. "...the most successful of the more than half-dozen beginning Greek grammars I have used in the classroom, especially in this revised edition. Students meet 'real Greek' early and often, and the exercises are ample and varied. What I appreciate particularly is that this grammar has personality, even a sense of humor, so that my students feel they are learning ancient Greek from Cecelia Luschnig rather than an anonymous textbook..." --Sherry Gray Martin, Faculty, St John's College, Santa Fe.

    This is an excellent introductory grammar to Ancient Greek. Professor Luschnig does an excellent job of presenting the material and I think that it is the best one out there. One of my UT-Austin degrees is in Ancient Greek and This was my college freshman Greek grammar. I highly recommend it.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A Tough Language Made Easier
    Reviewed in the United States on 9 September 2008

    Dr. Luschnig has tackled a rough task: write an Ancient Greek textbook for beginners. On the whole, I think she succeeds admirably well. What appealed to me most of all with this textbook was the early and frequent inclusion of ancient writers in the translation exercises; "cookbook Greek" is kept to an excellent minimum. The student is started right off with the first principle part and all principle parts are included well. She gives the subjunctive and optative little and late attention for such important forms in Ancient Greek and her mini-dictionary index should not be relied upon for translation. These complaints aside, the industrious student should be well equipped in a year of study to begin translating Aristotle and Plato.

    Aesthetics: A very attractive textbook. The Greek text is gorgeous and a pleasure to read, even when you're cursing it when a word stumps you. Important terms are in bold font for easy recognition, as are vocabulary words, etc.

    Durability: The softbound cover is fairly resistant, but don't expect miracles if your study habits abuse books. The spine will crease if you repeatedly fully open the spread, and if you are careless, the cover will crinkle and bend. If you are careful, you will be adequately rewarded. The pages stay in the volume and the textbook should last quite a few years. However, study volumes as a rule get abused, and this one does not respond well to wear. Buy it in hardcover or be very careful.

    Size: A good size for a textbook. Wide enough so it stays open without too much trouble (I laid a smallish book bridging it to the table to keep it open) and not too clunky, probably because Luschnig gives you the bare-bones needed to read/translate Ancient Greek.

    Price: Almost unbeatable for a new Ancient Greek textbook. Comparable textbooks are almost twice this much on occasion.

    All told, a quality textbook for the beginning Greek student. It will give you the information necessary to read Greek, provided you don't beat on it too hard (its greatest fault) along the way.
