Description: Athenaze, Book II by Maurice Balme, Gilbert Lawall, James Morwood Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Combining the best features of traditional and modern methods, Athenaze: An Introduction to Ancient Greek 3/e, provides a unique, bestselling course of instruction that allows students to read connected Greek narrative right from the begining and guides them to the point where they can begin reading complete classical texts. Carefully designed to hold students interest, the course begins in Book I with a fictional narrative about an Attic farmers family placed ina precise historical context (423-431 B.C.). This narrative, interwoven with tales from mythology and the Persian Wars, gradually gives way in Book II to adapted passages from Thucydides, Plato, andHerodotuc and ultimately to excerpts of the original Greek of Bacchylides, Thucudides, and Aristophanes Acharnians. Essays on relevant aspects of ancient Greek culture and history are also woven throughout.
