Description
This concise volume provides brief original reading matter to illustrate key features of Greek grammar and syntax. Each chapter begins with an account of the grammatical issue in question; this is then followed by a selection of passages from Greek literature, some shorter, some longer, covering a wide range of authors, and of considerable intrinsic interest.

Reviews
A Little Greek Reader has excellent passage selections and is the kind of textbook that can promote lively classroom discussions. * Blaise Nagy, College of the Holy Cross *
This is a wonderful book! Morwood and Anderson have chosen a great range of canonical authors in both prose and poetry, and the passages are challenging without being impossible or infuriating. * Richard Rader, University of California, Santa Barbara *
An excellent book, then, for combining details of purpose clauses while deepening understanding of the Greek world. * Alex Smith, Classics for All *
