What is Learn Ancient Greek (Greek & Latin Language) (Greek & Latin Language) about?
<p>Based on the same principles as <i>Learn Latin</i>, Peter Jones’s bestselling book of the hugely popular Daily Telegraph series, this book teaches you enough Greek in 20 chapters to be able to read some real ancient Greek – one of the world’s greatest languages, used by one of the world’s greatest cultures. By the end of the course you will be able to read passages from the New Testament and from Classical Greek literature, including extracts from Socrates’ speech on trial for his life recorded by Plato, Sophocles’ Antigone, and the tragic end to the Athenian expedition to Sicily described by the historian Thucydides – and much else.</p> <p>Each chapter also comes with sections on ancient Greek history and culture, and on the influence of the ancient language on our own, enabling you to experience at first hand just why it is that the ancient Greeks have played such a central part in the culture, language and history of western civilisation.</p>
