Introduction to Greek Bilingual Edition

This is a complete new edition of Cynthia Shelmerdine’s introductory Classical Greek text. Designed for the first full year course, this text concentrates on the basics in a way that allows the material to be covered easily in courses that meet three times a week over the course of two semesters. The focus of the text is on grammar, motivated in part by short, only slightly altered readings drawn chiefly from the works of Xenophon and Herodotus.

Cynthia W. Shelmerdine is Robert M. Armstrong Centennial Professor of Classics at The University of Texas at Austin. Her research interests include Aegean Bronze Age Archaeology and Mycenaean Greek.
