If you can pick up an ancient Greek text and read it as you do English, left to right, understanding each sentence as it comes, you don't need this book. If you can't do that, this book is for you. In it you'll find the reading practice you need to begin perfecting your Ancient Greek sight-reading skills. Easy Ancient Greek Practice combines two classic books into one: North & Hillard's Greek Prose Composition for Schools and the separate book Key to GPC for Schools. Greek Prose Composition for Schools (first published in the 1890s) gives exercises, in English, that students were to translate into Attic Greek. The Key gives North and Hillard's own Greek translations of those sentences. Easy Ancient Greek Practice combines the text of these two public domain books into a single volume and turns your translation task from English-to-Greek into Greek-to-English. Now you have more than 1,400 short, grammar-rich, brain-enhancing Attic sentences to help perfect your mastery of Ancient Greek sight-reading.
