On Using This BookStructure of the CourseThe entire book is scientifically built up on the basis of a complete statistical tabulation of justwhat forms, rules, and words actually occur in the text which will be read in this course. As a result,emphasis is distributed according to the degree of frequency with which each particular item willbe met during the two years’ work. Grammar and vocabulary are thus streamlined, that the effortsof the class may be directed efficiently to matters which are actively important for reading theHomeric text.Only those principal parts of verbs, and only those special forms of MI verbs are assigned whichactually occur at least three times in the readings from Homer in this course. Thus the memoryburden is greatly reduced, with no unneeded items included, yet is fully adequate for reading theselections from Homer provided.These items cover, at the same time, the essentials of Homeric and Greek grammar, thusproviding a solid foundation for further reading in Homer or in other Greek authors.Nevertheless, the student who cannot go on in Greek beyond the present course will findsatisfaction in having repeatedly seen and used within the course itself every principle that he haslearned. The book, then, forms a unit in itself, offering material of intrinsic worth and interest; itis not merely a preparation for something else.Reading Real GreekIn the first sixty lessons, the Readings are all actual quotations from various authors over thewhole range of Greek literature. The quotations have, where necessary, been simplified or adaptedto fit a limited vocabulary and syntax and the Homeric dialect, but they remain faithful to theoriginal thought. These selections thus provide a certain contact with writers other than Homer,and with general Greek thinking. Already by Lesson 11 you will be reading real Greek!The Homer readings are held off until the student has the key forms, rules, and words well inhand. Reading Homer thus becomes easy—most of the language is already familiar, while anynew forms or words are explained as they come up, when needed.The heavy work of the course, held to its statistically verified minimum of forms, rules, and wordsneeded to read the Homer selections provided, is concentrated in the first quarter of the program(first sixty lessons); the remaining three quarters are then fun—“downhill,” “cashing in” on thewealth of forms and vocabulary accumulated in the first sixty lessons. Meanwhile the shortReadings from other Greek authors are an early reward for the grammar and vocabulary beingprogressively learned.The text of Homer himself is over ninety-nine percent unaltered. Where an especially rare ortroublesome form has been reduced to simpler terms, the change is always strictly in accord withHomeric usage. Care has been taken to include in the selections read those passages on whichVergil draws in the Aeneid, Bk. 1, 2, 4, 6.xi

A Reading Course in Homeric GreekLesson DesignIt should be noted that the exercises entitled TRANSLATE and PUT INTO GREEK all drill onthe matter just learned, and that the English sentences headed WRITE IN GREEK always drawexclusively on review grammar, not on the forms or syntax first seen in that day’s lesson.Everything learned is constantly reused and thus kept active as the course progresses.In general, with classes of fifty minutes, the Lessons are designed to be taken one a day, with aclass free every eight or ten days for thorough and detailed vocabulary review. However, Lessons16, 21, 29, 35, 45, and 83 are intended to take two class periods apiece, while Lessons 59 and 60,general review of the first sixty lessons, will each supply matter for three days’ class, if desired.Many of the easier lessons, especially from Lesson 61 on, can be covered two to a class. Whereclass periods are longer than fifty minutes, more than one lesson can be taken, as the teacherjudges feasible.— R.V. SchoderV.C. HorriganREVISED EDITIONWhy this revised editionApproaching the learning of Ancient Greek through Homeric Greek makes particular sense forthe student of today, who often has only a year or two to spend on the study of Greek. HomericGreek is somewhat simpler syntactically than Attic Greek, so that reading with some proficiencyand even pleasure is attainable within that abbreviated time-span. Moreover, of all the ancienttexts still read today, certainly none is more widely read or enjoyed than Homer’s Odyssey;students are often drawn to the study of the Greek language by their experience with Homer intranslation. Yet the extant Homeric Greek textbooks were not written for today’s student; theyassumed familiarity with grammatical terminology and syntactical concepts that are no longercovered in the educational curriculum.What has been changedSchoder and Horrigan’s Reading Course in Homeric Greek had several virtues which kept mereturning to it year after year for my own Greek classes. First, it is organized around the verbsystem, proceeding in the order of the six principal parts from the present system through theaorist passive system. This logical arrangement seems to convey to the student the “big picture” ofthe Greek grammatical system more effectively than any other I have tried. Second, the book is,compared to other Greek texts available now, quite concise; it is possible to cover the material init in the allotted meeting times, without skipping over readings and longer explanations. Finally,and most importantly, it is a gratifying course, because it relatively quickly prepares the student toread something they will certainly enjoy—the Lotus Eaters and Cyclops episodes from Book 9 ofthe Odyssey.There were some weaknesses in the text that I have tried to address in this revised edition. Basedon my experience using Schoder and Horrigan’s text, I have added fuller explanations ofsyntactical concepts where the original edition’s versions seemed too thin for today’s students.Paradigms have been labeled clearly; participle and adjective paradigms have been declined in full.xii

On Using This BookI have also included, early in the text, explicit explanations of grammatical terminology. But Ihave striven to keep the book from becoming a very long book, since I find that shorter texts workbetter in today’s teaching schedules and with today’s students. Other changes and additionsinclude: Self-correcting review exercises for the non-review lessons from Lesson 10-54. These exercisesoffer extra drilling of and basic practice with new morphology and syntax, on the model ofWheelock’s excellent self-correcting exercises at the back of his Latin textbook. New and updated essays. Essays on topics related to the H
