The approach to ancient Greek literature is a paramount educational goal and requires thorough preparation that can be achieved with this book. Twenty-six texts from Xenophon's literary work are presented in an analytical manner as follows:
- A summary of the work to which the text belongs precedes
- Each text has an introductory note according to the new examination guidelines
- Before the unseen texts, there is an extensive passage from the previous original text with a parallel translation that can be used separately as unseen or for the introduction to the meaning.
- Each text is followed by a complete recognition of all words, with special observations and references where necessary. There is a detailed reference to the meanings and syntactic structures of all words.
- The syntactic analysis of the texts is given schematically in the form of an exercise for the students, who are asked to recognize each sentence in terms of type and function and each word in terms of function and dependency. In this way, students' self-activity is achieved, and they gradually become familiar with and consolidate syntactic phenomena.
- Each unit concludes with a series of grammatical and syntactic exercises as well as interpretative questions according to the new examination data. The answers to all questions are found in the second part of the book.
The study of the book helps the interested party to gradually become familiar with and fully consolidate the function of the ancient Greek language and, acting with self-activity, to build BRIDGES... WITH ANCIENT GREEK.
