This book offers a lively, intelligent, accurate, comprehensive, and up-to-date introduction to translating into ancient Greek.

This is the first full-scale reference grammar of Classical Greek in English in a century. The first work of its kind to reflect significant advances in linguistics made in recent decades, it provides students, teachers and academics with a comprehensive yet user-friendly treatment. The chapters on phonology and morphology make full use of insights from comparative and historical linguistics to elucidate complex systems of roots, stems and endings. The syntax offers linguistically up-to-date descriptions of such topics as case usage, tense and aspect, voice, subordinate clauses, infinitives and participles. An innovative section on textual coherence treats particles and word order and discusses several sample passages in detail, demonstrating new ways of approaching Greek texts. Throughout the book numerous original examples are provided, all with translations and often with clarifying notes. Clearly laid-out tables, helpful cross-references and full indexes make this essential resource accessible to users of all levels.

Excerpt from Exercises on the Syntax of the Greek Language: To Which Are Subjoined, Exercises in Metaphrasis, Paraphrasis, Dialects, and Prosody From a strange misconception of the true mode 0 education, an edition of the Exercises made its appear ance in this country some years back, with a key actu ally annexed, and thus the good effects of a work which would otherwise have proved so useful an auxiliary to the student, became in an instant completely neutral ized. The consequence has been, that the Greek Ex croises of Dr. Neilson have gradually been disused and are, it is believed, retained at the present day by few of our preceptors. The peculiar and lasting ad vantages which result from the practice of Greek and Latin composition, in giving: closer and more accurate view of the grammatical forms of these languages, must be conceded by all; and it is therefore a subject 01 deep regret, that a most valuable branch of classical instruction should have been for a long time rendered so utterly unproductive.
