Présentation de l'éditeur
The Greek language has existed, without very serious alteration, nearly three thousand years. In its present form it differs less from that of Xenophon than the language of Xenophon differs from that of Homer. If my intention had been to limit myself to the language now used by the educated classes in Greece in literature, in the daily press, in the pulpit, and elsewhere, I should have had little else to do than to copy the rules of ancient Greek grammar with some additions and modifications. Some forms of the ancient language, such as the dual number, the pluperfect, the optative, etc., have become obsolete, and the general spirit of the modern idiom is more analytical than the classical form; the latter, however, is still considered as a general treasury from which everybody may borrow, and a model to be constantly imitated as closely as possible by all men of letters. But this more perfect language is not sufficient for foreigners travelling in Greece and coming in contact.with the people, whose language is strongly influenced by local idioms, as it was even in ancient times.
