Fisher, George Washington University "Athenaze is an excellent adaptation of the reading approach for ancient Greek, with excellent Greek readings."--Nicholas Rynearson, University of Georgia "The approach is student friendly, the readings are varied and interesting, and the grammatical explanations are clear."--Laurie Cosgriff, Portland State University "Athenaze is the best text for learning ancient Greek. Period."--George Rudebusch, Northern Arizona University "The storyline and characters of the text readily draw students into the language and culture of the Greeks.
