Textbooks for Greek Subjects
Our teachers have carefully selected classical education textbooks which present their course materials in an organized manner, but which also reflect our primary mission to provide a rigorous and thorough preparation for the life of the mind in Christ. Please read the information supplied in their notes carefully. In some cases, you may be able to substitute editions, but not in others. In many cases, used versions of the textbook will be available through Amazon or ABE Books. If you have any questions about the appropriateness of a text for your student, or about the correct edition to buy, please contact the teacher.
As an Amazon Associate, Scholars Online earns income from qualifying purchases, which is deposited to our Scholarship fund. We encourage to buy your Scholars Online texts (and other Amazon purchases) through our bookstore links to help fund scholarships for needy students.
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.
Textbooks for both Summer and Academic Year 2021 Courses |
Courses in Greek |
Greek II (1536) • [2021] Sarah Esposito |
---|
|
Greek III (1537) • [2021] Bruce McMenomy |
---|
Required: |
A Greek Reader for Schools [Any edition] C. E. Freeman, W. D. LoweNotes: 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 [Any edition] Plato, James J. Helm (Editor) |
Required: |
Syntactical Mechanics [Any edition] Bruce A. McMenomy |
Optional: |
All the Greek Verbs [Any edition] N. MarinoneNotes: Not required, but this volume is worth its weight in frustration: it locates verbs according to their (often wildly divergent) principal parts. |
Optional: |
An Intermediate Greek-English Lexicon, Founded upon the 7th ed. of Liddell and Scott's Greek-English Lexicon [Any edition] H. G. Liddell, Robert ScottNotes: 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. |
Optional: |
Greek Grammar [Any edition] Herbert Weir Smyth, Gordon M. MessingNotes: 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. |
