4.0 out of 5 stars A Refreshing and Inspiring Approach to Greek, April 5, 2000
By A Customer
Traditional courses in Greek that begin with the Attic dialect have had to contend with a major obstacle: finding clear and accessible Greek that will convince students that learning the language is worth the effort. Plato is often obscure, Xenophon can be boring. But Homer, though he writes in an artificial dialect, is always clear, always engaging, and has the advantage of being the fountain of Greek literature. Schoder's textbook, like Clyde Pharr's, is an attempt to bring the best of Greek literature to the beginning student. Volume One is devoted to the basics of Greek grammar and begins with Book 9 of the Odyssey. Volume Two rounds out the grammar and continues with selections from the Iliad. A student who has worked through both volumes will be ready to read the Greek lyric poets and begin reading prose with Herodotus. Classicists, in their conservative desire to begin with "good Attic," are usually wary of such an approach, but are probably secretly envious of students who can begin at the beginning, and with the best. The transition to reading Attic is not difficult, and Schoder provides some guidelines on how to make the switch. The student who gives up his or her studies after working through this method will go away feeling satisfied, and can dabble in Homer with ease. The only caveat is that this book has frequent misprints, so it would be advisable for the independent student to check the paradigms and exercises with a good lexicon (Cunliffe's is best for general purposes)and the paradigms in Clyde Pharr's textbook as well, which has fewer misprints (but is otherwise not as user-friendly). The format is clear and attractive. The text is generously supplied with photos of Greek monuments and artworks. An inspirational quote stands at the beginning of each lesson, usually from a historical figure (e.g. Thomas Jefferson, Oliver Wendell Holmes) about the joys and benefits of learning Greek. An excellent and adventurous way to approach Greek for the high school or college student.

1.0 out of 5 stars This Is the 2nd Book Of Two Books, May 10, 2002
By A Customer
This is the second book, but it there doesn't seem to mention of that. Without the first book, which is out of print, it seems to be to pretty much a waste of money to spend on unless you can get that first book. Everywhere I looked for that first book I could not find it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Useful if you already know some Greek
As others have mentioned, you need book 1 first. It took me about a year to track it down, but I did find eventually. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars ........
There is no mention that this is merely book 2 of a three book series. What good is book 2 without, at least, book 1 which is out of print. I returned my copy. Save your money.
