Based on the same principles as Learn Latin, Peter Jones's bestselling book of the highly popular Daily Telegraph series, this book teaches you enough Greek in 20 chapters to read some real ancient Greek – one of the world's greatest languages, used by one of the world's greatest cultures. By the end of the course, you will be able to read passages from the New Testament and Classical Greek literature, including excerpts from Socrates' trial recorded by Plato, Sophocles' Antigone, and Thucydides' account of the Athenian expedition to Sicily. Each chapter includes sections on Greek history and culture, as well as the influence of the language on our own, highlighting why the ancient Greeks have played a central role in Western civilization.
