Kareni Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 My teen is taking an out of the home course in Ancient Greek using the text Thrasymachus by Peckett and Munday (initially published in 1965; published by Bristol Classical Press in 1984 and reprinted in 1990) and is enjoying it very much. In doing some searching (for the purpose of writing a course description), I stumbled upon the following site which might be of interest to others.

PamJH Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 This might be what I'm looking for. I wonder if a student could get a full credit or a half credit for doing this course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kareni Posted September 29, 2008 Author Share Posted September 29, 2008 I don't know whether my daughter's instructor is following this particular syllabus. However, I intend to award one high school credit for the class as the instructor likened it to a one semester course at the University level.

Brindee Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 I think if my younger ds was still homeschooling he'd want to take this! Thanks for bumping it! I'll show it to dd, who expressed a minor interest in Greek.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ester Maria Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Click me. Yes, entire textbooks they use in Greece, both for modern Greek and for arxaia, with texts, so you can supplement whatever you're doing. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kareni Posted April 18, 2010 Author Share Posted April 18, 2010 ... both for modern Greek and for arxaia... Ester Maria, Thank you for the link. I'm unfamiliar with the term 'arxaia'. Is this the Greek word then for Ancient Greek? Does it refer to all of the forms (i.e., Koine, Attic) or to one in particular?

Ester Maria Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Thank you for the link. I'm unfamiliar with the term 'arxaia'. Is this the Greek word then for Ancient Greek? Does it refer to all of the forms (i.e., Koine, Attic) or to one in particular? Yes, I'm sorry, I wrote it almost automatically. Basically "classical" Greek is referred to as αρχαία (wow, the Greek keyboard is working :D) by Greeks. There are various stages of the development of the Greek language, as you're probably aware, but the main distinction would be arxaia / nea (ancient/new), with all kinds of NT, Byzantine, Katharevousa thrown in between. Greek textbooks for teaching arxaia are often plain excellent. I base a lot of our Greek studies on them, even though we're not active modern Greek speakers (girls don't know it at all, I've studied it, but currently can only read passively) - all you need are texts from there, see how they're commented, and see their sequences. Those materials are often excellent supplements, or even excellent as main materials to study Greek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amy Jo Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 So, is Thrasymachus doable without an instructor? I've been debating for quite some time. And is it Attic Greek or a mixture? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kareni Posted April 19, 2010 Author Share Posted April 19, 2010 I believe it may be Attic but I'm not certain. My daughter did this book with an instructor, so I'm not certain how doable it would be as an independent study. Regards, Kareni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
