"...all the new material is very fully and clearly explained ... so much so that I had hopes that a motivated student would be able to continue on his own ... there are a very large number of drills and practice sentences..." -New England Classical Newsletter "This is a text of such wonderful clarity that it is a delight for both student and instructor." -- -Lydia Lenaghan Columbia University, Emerita "Unlike other traditional books, it does not presume a previous knowledge of another inflected language; all the explanations necessary to understand Greek are contained within the book itself." -Languages and Literature
