Attic/Modern Greek comparison

[Jefferson Cicero]

Does anyone know if there is such a thing as a book or a website that compares Attic with Modern Greek grammatically?

It might be helpful if one were to start learning Modern Greek after having learnt Attic, which I am considering.

You can find a thorough treatise on that subject in Geoffery C. Horrocks' "Greek: A History Of The Language And Its Speakers", Addison Wesley (ISBN-13: 978-0582307094).
But the faster way to compare them is to learn both of them a little bit.
And you might find the Wikipedia article on Greek Language helpful.
Cheers!

Horrock's is the best, also bear in mind the difference between spoken and written..

Thank you, Mingshey and Scribo. Horrock's does look like the perfect book for what I want to do, from what I can see about it on Amazon. It's price is quite high, however, so I'll have to wait a while before I can get it.

That looks like a very interesting book. I have started learning modern Greek last year and I am really curious about comparisons with ancient Greek (since that is not a part of the course I am following, and rightly so, it is not intended to be academic).

Thanks, Mingshey!
