The Textbook Section

There are several hundred books listed in the textbook section. Select a sequence to review a list of the courses and textbooks for that sequence. You may browse through the entire section if you want to see all our text choices by clicking on "Textbooks", but please be aware that this may take significant time to load and you must be patient.

Text titles in the list display link directly to Amazon's page for the work, or to an alternate source if the item is not available from Amazon. You can also browse sections or the entire book store in "cover" mode, which will display the textbook cover and range of prices for copies available through Amazon.

During the early part of the calendar year, the bookstore may list textbooks for courses from both the current academic year, and the upcoming summer and fall academic years. Not all textbooks will be listed until teachers approve course descriptions and select their books. Be sure that you order books for the correct enrollment year.

Courses for Summer and Academic Year 2010

Courses in Greek

Greek I • [2010] Sarah Esposito

Required

Greek: An Intensive Course
Hardy Hansen, Gerald M. Quinn

This is the second revised edition. Please note. Earlier editions are not going to work for us. You may choose to get instead the hardback copy listed below as optional -- it's in for two years of hard wear -- but that's up to you.

Greek II • [2010] Sarah Esposito

Required	*Greek: An Intensive Course* Hardy Hansen, Gerald M. Quinn Second revised edition. Hardcover version may be substituted. The student probably already has this from Greek I.
Optional	*Greek New Testament: With English Introduction including Greek/English dictionary* Kurt Aland (Editor) Optional though recommended: regular reading in the Greek New Testament is an excellent way to bolster one's Greek and to achieve a better mastery of Scripture.

Greek III • [2010] Bruce McMenomy

Required	*A Greek Reader for Schools* C. E. Freeman, W. D. Lowe This is a reprint of a much older book, but still a solid selection of readings which are both entertaining and conducive to the development of fluency. Most of the passages have been edited somewhat from their original forms (Herodotus' Ionic dialect has been systematically Atticized throughout), but the work is solid and tractable.
Required	*Plato: Apology* Plato, James J. Helm (Editor)
Optional	*An Intermediate Greek-English Lexicon, Founded upon the 7th ed. of Liddell and Scott's Greek-English Lexicon* H. G. Liddell, Robert Scott This is enough of a Greek lexicon to carry the student through an undergraduate career in classics and well into graduate school. It is not required for this course, but it will always be helpful and will not quickly become obsolete.
Optional	*Greek Grammar* Herbert Weir Smyth, Gordon M. Messing Not absolutely required, but very strongly recommended. If you have funds to buy only one non-required volume for Greek, this should be it. Revised edition.
Optional	*N. Marinone* All the Greek Verbs Not required, but this volume is worth its weight in frustration: it locates verbs according to their (often wildly divergent) principal parts.

Greek V • [2010] Bruce McMenomy

Required	*An Intermediate Greek-English Lexicon : Founded upon the 7th ed. of Liddell and Scott's Greek-English Lexicon. 1889.* H. G. Liddell, Robert Scott
Required	*Bacchae* Euripides, E. R. Dodds (Editor) One of the finest single-play editions with commentary available; very challenging but very solid.
Required	*Greek Grammar* Herbert Weir Smyth, Gordon M. Messing

Greek VII • [2010] Bruce McMenomy

Required	*Lexicon of the Homeric Dialect* Richard J. Cunliffe This or Autenrieth's Dictionary is required.
Required	*Opera : Volume I: Iliad, Books I-XII (Oxford Classical Texts)* Homer, D. B. Monro, T. W. Allen
Required	*Opera : Volume II: Iliad, Books XIII-XXIV (Oxford Classical Texts)* Homer, D. B. Monro, T. W. Allen
Required	*The Best of the Achaeans : Concepts of the Hero in Archaic Greek Poetry* Gregory Nagy

Courses for Summer and Academic Year 2009

Greek I • [2009] Sarah Esposito

Required	*Greek: An Intensive Course* Hardy Hansen, Gerald M. Quinn This is the second revised edition. Please note. Earlier editions are not going to work for us. You may choose to get instead the hardback copy listed below as optional -- it's in for two years of hard wear -- but that's up to you.
Optional	*Greek New Testament: With English Introduction including Greek/English dictionary* Kurt Aland (editor) This is optional, but our students often ask for a recommendation for a Greek New Testament. Most students can read it reasonably easily by the end of the first year, with just the help of some vocabulary support.
Optional	*Greek: An Intensive Course* Hardy Hansen, Gerald M. Quinn Second revised edition; you may choose this instead of the paperback version listed as required. Do not* acquire both.*
