The Essentials of Greek Grammar: A Reference for Intermediate Readers of Attic Greek

Pratt (classics, Emory U.) presents the most essential elements taught in first-year Greek classes in a form that more advanced students can keep at hand as a reminder and reference while reading texts. It would be especially useful, she says, to students whose beginning textbook was based on inductive reasoning. She begins with the forms of the parts of speech, then turns to syntax. An appendix lists 247 common Attic verbs and their principal parts. English and Greek terms are indexed separately. Annotation 穢2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
