<br /><br />Well, you could go several ways.<br /><br />Since you already have Koine, I might suggest that you take a look at the "First Greek Book" and dash through that quickly. You get a review, you get introduced to the new forms in a more friendly way than just a Grammar and it leads directly to... Xenophon! Many will gripe about how boring he is (I agree) but even if you read only the first book you will be much better prepared to take on more interesting Greek.<br /><br />Homer may be trickier coming from Koine. Again, dash through the "First Greek Book" then hit Seymour's "Introduction to the Language and Verse of Homer" paying special attention to the forrms. Then dive into whichever Homeric texts we have here.<br /><br />In either case, unless you have a lot of experience with continuous Greek you may want to purchase a Loeb for when you absolutely cannot figure out the text.<br /><br />[face=SPIonic]eu)tu/xei[/face]<br />However, Smyth doesn't have much in the way of reading. So what do you veterans recommend for beginning reading? Do I start with Homer, or is he more difficult because of the time period? Something else?<br /><br />Preferably something that I can print off from this site<br />
