It enables students who have been learning Greek for perhaps a year to approach Homer for the first time, and to have the satisfaction of reading two whole books in the original language. Full and detailed help is given with vocabulary, accidence and syntax. Homeric forms are introduced and set alongside Attic ones, enabling students to consolidate their existing knowledge at the same time as extending it. The Introduction and notes enable students to see these two books in the context of the whole epic, and the epic itself in the context of early Greek society. They also encourage students to consider why the Greeks themselves regarded Homer as the master poet.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 244mmItem Length: 169mmItem Width: 10mmItem Weight: 390gContributor: Stephen Anderson (Edited by), John Taylor (General editor), Keith Maclennan (Edited by), Naoko Yamagata (Edited by)Genre: HistoryBook Series: Reading GreekTopic: Ancient History, Literary Criticism, Poetry & DramaISBN-10: 0521170885Author: Joint Association of Classical Teachers' Greek Course, Stephen Anderson, Keith Maclennan, Naoko Yamagata, John TaylorType: GenresRelease Year: 2022 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
