First published in 1978, Reading Greek has become a best-selling one-year introductory course in ancient Greek
for students and adults. It combines the best of modern and traditional language-learning techniques and is used
widely in schools, summer schools and universities across the world. It has also been translated into several foreign
languages. This volume provides full grammatical support together with numerous exercises at different levels.
For the second edition the presentations of grammar have been substantially revised to meet the needs of today's
students and the volume has been completely redesigned, with the use of colour. Greek-English and English-Greek
vocabularies are provided, as well as a substantial reference grammar and language surveys. The accompanying Text
and Vocabulary volume contains a narrative adapted entirely from ancient authors in order to encourage students
rapidly to develop their reading skills, simultaneously receiving a good introduction to Greek culture.
