Lysias I and Plato's Crito: Greek Text with Facing Vocabulary and Commentary

by Geoffrey D. Steadman

Each page of this volume contains 9-10 lines of Greek text, exactly one-third of a page from Hude’s 1912 Oxford Classical Text of Lysias I or one-third of a page from Burnet’s 1903 Oxford Classical Text of Plato’s Crito, with all corresponding vocabulary and grammatical commentary arranged below. Once readers have memorized the core vocabulary list, they will be able to read the classical Greek and consult all relevant vocabulary and commentary without turning a page.

As a novice classicist, these are the first unadapted ancient Greek texts I’ve read. At certain times, Steadman’s notes made the difficult grammar easier, but at some other times, his notes made some passages more difficult to understand. There are a few minor errors that my class and I found as we went through the book, but they weren’t anything that greatly impeded our learning experience. I’m hugely grateful for the existence of this book; it made the transition from textbook Greek to actual Greek very smooth and only a little painful.

There were a few mistakes and typos, but most of the notes were very helpful
