Classical Greek Phrasebook

Hi,

anyone know of an Attic Phrasebook which I can buy? I’m doing Greek composition and I don’t know enough idioms. I need something like C. Meissner’s Latin Phrasebook - something to stop me writing stuff like hama to xeimoni.

Thanks.

Franmorar is publishing a series of Greek conversational phrases at the Agora.

well, there’s Auden’s Greek Phrase Book (googlebooks). I haven’t used this enough to speak for its usefulness - my impression is some of the material is fairly complex, perhaps not what you want at this point.

If you read German, you could also take a look at Altgriechisch im Alltag (googlebooks) which has good coverage of basic idiomatic phrases.
