Reviews
"Athenaze, Books I and II, presents a thoughtful, reading-based approach to learning ancient Greek. Both books are interspersed with superbly written cultural and historical essays that introduce readers to the signature characteristics of Greek culture."--Stephen Esposito, Boston University "I have found Athenaze's methodology successful with today's broad range of student learning styles and varied levels of language sophistication."--Elizabeth A. Fisher, George Washington University "Athenaze is an excellent adaptation of the reading approach for ancient Greek, with excellent Greek readings."--Nicholas Rynearson, University of Georgia "The approach is student friendly, the readings are varied and interesting, and the grammatical explanations are clear."--Laurie Cosgriff, Portland State University "Athenaze is the best text for learning ancient Greek. Period."--George Rudebusch, Northern Arizona University "The storyline and characters of the text readily draw students into the language and culture of the Greeks. Athenaze is arguably the best first-year Greek text on the market."--Richard L.
