Textbooks for Greek Subjects

Greek: An Intensive Course [Edition required: 2]

Notes:
Second revised edition. Hardcover version may be substituted. The student probably already has this from Greek I.

Greek New Testament: With English Introduction including Greek/English dictionary [Edition required: 4]

Notes:
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.

A Greek Reader for Schools [Any edition]

Notes:
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.

All the Greek Verbs [Any edition]

Notes:
Not required, but this volume is worth its weight in frustration: it locates verbs according to their (often wildly divergent) principal parts.

An Intermediate Greek-English Lexicon, Founded upon the 7th ed. of Liddell and Scott's Greek-English Lexicon [Any edition]

Notes:
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. It is worth noting that there are iPad and iPhone/iPod Touch versions of the full Liddell and Scott (which retails for about $200 if you can find it on sale) for two or three dollars. If you have the necessary hardware, this is a very congenial solution to the lexicon problem.

Greek Grammar [Any edition]

Notes:
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.

Greek Grammar [Any edition]

Notes:
This is available in various forms. Some solid reference grammar is highly recommended. It need not be this one.

Homeric Dictionary [Any edition]

Notes:
An alternative to Cunliffe's Homeric Lexicon. One or the other is required. (It is worth noting that Autenrieth's Homeric Lexicon is included with the iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch App "Lexiphanes", which bundles it with the large LSJ for about three dollars.)

Lexicon of the Homeric Dialect [Any edition]

Notes:
This lexicon or Autenrieth's is required. (It is worth noting that Autenrieth's Homeric Lexicon is included with the iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch App "Lexiphanes", which bundles it with the large LSJ for about three dollars.)

Bacchae [Any edition]

Notes:
One of the finest single-play editions with commentary available; very challenging but very solid.

Looking at Bacchae [Edition required: 1]

Notes:
Alternate (e-book, hardback) forms of the book are equally acceptable.

Greek: An Intensive Course [Edition required: 2]

Notes:
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 of the second edition, but that's up to you.

Greek New Testament: With English Introduction including Greek/English dictionary [Edition required: 4]

Notes:
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.
