Can anybody enlighten me concerning the differences between learning Greek (from zero) with Schoder/Horrigan versus Pharr? I worked through 30 chapters of Pharr a few years ago, and I'm starting again. However, I just learned of the 3 volume Schoder/Horrigan series. There were raving reviews of it at Amazon, but they were primarily comparing it to Athanaze, not Pharr.
My objective is to read Homer and, later on, Plato. Side interests are Plutarch and the New Testament. I have about 6 hours a week to study. I would assume it would take about 3 or 4 years at this rate to get through the Iliad (or the Odyssey if I go with Schoder).
