Oxford Grammar of Classical Greek

I am writing this review whilst buying my second copy of the book. Not because the first copy is too dilapidated for further use but only because I would hate to think the book might go out of print and I might then lose my current print.This book is my constant companion as it is so portable. It bears all the merits that the other reviewers have praised and in addition an advantage which none has mentioned. The book is packed with quotations from the classic authors with English translations, illustrative of the grammatical points that are being made. This advantage renders the work a fascinating resource unlike any other tutors most of which are basically school books not intended to be "cribbed". If you want to read classic Greek (and begin quoting from the classics!)then make this your next purchase. I heartily recommend it.

Very affordable and useful reference tool for Greek students

When I give up on my textbook and workbook, I turn to this handy volume that manages to explain complicated things simply. A good vademecum if you are studying Ancient Greek.

Who really likes to learn about grammar? Especially complicated Classical Greek grammar. But this book is succinct with its explanations and incredibly useful for my pgcert. A must-buy for any budding classicists.

A great supplement alongside the textbook for my Ancient Greek students. Attractively and sturdily bound. Clearly written. Sometimes explains things more succinctly than textbooks. Good charts for reference. Affordable!

An excellent feature in this grammar is the use of macrons to distinguish ᾱ, ῡ and ῑ. As much of Classical Greek is in the form of poetry, it is necessary to be able to identify the long vowels to scan the metre. It is not meant to be a definitive work; for this you will have to resort to Smyth or Goodwin; but as a lightweight primer covering the basic essentials it is good value for money.

I like the simple and useful format that helps me study classical Greek.Thank you !
