The Little Prince...in Ancient Greek

[Markos]

χαίρετε πάντες,

Thanks, Joel, for finding this. Where did you learn about it?

Coderich’s edition uses three staples of the Direct Method:

1. Monolingual helps.
2. Pictures, so as to stay in the target language.
3. L2 discussion questions for L2 comp practice.

These happen to be the same three things rmedinap has called for:

@rmedinap

…Why don’t we paraphrase into more simple Attic the parts that he doesn’t understand of a given text? Out of that paraphrase we could work out some small dialogues with the vocabulary and mix it with the original. Ideally someone could draw pictures of the realia. (On that point one of the greatest desiderata of Greek scholarship is the equivalent to the In usum delphini series for Latin authors).

εἰς Μάρκου χρῆσιν?

Someday I’d like to figure out how to properly do a “Let’s Read” thread.

I’ve been struggling with this question myself as to how it would apply to a Direct Method thread. Jonah, I think,

turned out to be a bad choice for such a thread. τὸ Βασιλείδιον, which I have just ordered, might be better.

ἔρρωσθε.
