Reviews for An Introduction to Ancient Greek
Luschnig's excellent An Introduction to Ancient Greek 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 I have used C.A.E. Luschnig's text for my beginning Greek sequence for over twenty years. I find that 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, Professor of Classics, University of Florida . . . [A] remarkable volume, preserving the verve, knowledge, and perspective of a master teacher.
