Hello all,
I did 2 years of Greek at school and enjoyed it. I’ve been reading various translations of Homer over the years (admiring the Iliad and thoroughly enjoying the Odyssey). I retired from full-time work some years ago, and recently learnt about an excellent adult-education class in ancient Greek in Bristol UK, and took it for three terms, a weekly class of 90 minutes with homework taking an hour or two. Occasionally three. The focus is on reading Greek literature, not writing Greek (do I remember struggling as a schoolboy with Greek Prose Composition by ?? North & Hillard or Hillard & Botting??)
Over the summer I’ve started to consolidate my weak knowledge of grammar by working through Carl Ruck’s “Ancient Greek”, 2nd edition, which I think is excellent; have got as far as p. 27 out of 250 - not very far. I don’t know of any key to this book, and will occasionally post questions about passages I find hard. I look forward to spending some time on the forum - though my time is limited.
best wishes to all,
David
