Wilding’s Greek for Beginners has long been recognised as one of the very best introductions to the Ancient Greek language, covering all points of grammar and syntax with exercises and readings. Making the Greek language immediately accessible and enjoyable, regardless of whether the reader already has a working knowledge of the language,it introduces grammar and syntax in a comprehensible sequence, chapter by chapter.

This is an excellent first textbook for anyone eager to understand this ancient language.

It is the perfect handbook to use in association with Abbott & Mansfield's Primer of Greek Grammar, also published by Bloomsbury.
