### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    So readable and enjoyable
  

*by J***O on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 6, 2010*

Having finished your basic Classical Greek grammar books, where should you turn to build your vocabulary and see those grammatical idioms in action? I have various BCP, Cambridge, Reading Greek and Loeb editions of assorted texts, but this really beats them hands down. It's such a pleasure to have the vocabulary just a glance away and the grammatical comments are most helpful. There are other features I really liked too. A separate vocabulary list of the words occuring more than 15 times with the number of times each appears also noted, current books for additional reading, downloadable flashcards and a pdf file available of the entire book. What a wonderful idea and how generous! Instead of covering your text in pencil or biro you can scribble on pages printed from your home PC.The idea of "print-on-demand" books like this is new to me, but it seems to be working very well for everybody. It's explained in the preface. It means that a very nicely produced book is available for well below the price you would expect to pay for such a book. The down side is that there is apparently no independent editor, but the author is far more hands on and has more control over his product than traditional book publishing methods. Updates and corrections are available if needed. Although "printed-on-demand" the book arrived promptly. You'll need to order it from Amazon since you won't find it in bookshops at this time at any rate.Buy this book! I bet you'll buy the rest of the series too, as I did.

    Great text for intermediate readers
  

*by P***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 13, 2011*

This is really the first complete work of Ancient Greek I've ever read. (Well, as complete as 1 book of the Histories can be.) I really like it. It's front and back matter are pretty minimal, but that's fine. Steadman provides red meat. On the left-hand page, there is a scanned image of the Oxford Greek text. The quality is usually pretty decent, though on occasion flaws from the printed edition appear. No worries as they are small. On the right-hand page is a glossary of lower frequency words (those that appear fewer than 15 times) and a bit of commentary. Less advanced students will appreciate Steadman's generous help to get them reading more fluently. There are some typos here and there, but they are completely manageable given that this volume is POD and well-priced.I can only hope that Steadman continues with making these books. This is exactly what is needed for Greek studies.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Good for second year Greek students
  

*by S***. on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 15, 2013*

I used this text for my third semester of Greek and found it very helpful. If you're more advanced the sheer quantity of notes might seem obtrusive to you -- though it's a bit more work than simply Loebing it, the book does a lot of the heavy lifting for you. Herodotus isn't too tough, which makes him a good prose author to start with... as opposed to the other big Greek historian Thucydides, who had me tearing out my hair.
