Many junior high and early high school students excel in the study of Latin, mainly because they have access to textbooks intended for their age group.

Many junior high and early high school students excel in the study of Latin, mainly because they have access to textbooks intended for their age group. Unfortunately, this isn't the case with Ancient Greek, where the majority of textbooks currently available in schools are outdated and written primarily for college students. Providing the proper resources, Khairete O Mathetai: An Introduction to Ancient Greek for Secondary School Students offers the unique experience of learning Ancient Greek at a younger age. At first glance, there seems to be little value to studying Ancient Greek. Why should anyone study a dead language, one that hasn't been spoken in thousands of years? The truth is, it is far from being a dead language, according to Ryan M. Proctor. It is very much alive and all around us, and it has forever made its mark on our language. Countless words in English originate from Ancient Greek, from everyday examples like butter and sandal and advanced words used by educated speakers such as myriad and megalomaniac, to the vast amount of technical vocabulary evident in science, theology, literature, and several other fields. The New Testament, the Church fathers' writings, history, philosophy, science, and several other subjects were originally written in Greek, as was arguably the best poetry. A translation can never come near capturing the beauty and rhythm of a Greek poem, the power of Greek rhetoric, and the nuances of Greek philosophy. Learning to both read and write Ancient Greek is fulfilling, satisfying, and will promote a deep sense of accomplishment. Accessible, manageable, and simple to follow, Khairete O Mathetai provides introductory instruction of Ancient Greek specifically aimed at secondary school students with a focus on fully and simply explaining grammatical concepts and accent rules.
