Synopsis

Materials And Models For Greek Prose Composition is a comprehensive guidebook for students of ancient Greek language who wish to improve their writing skills. Written by John Young Sargent, a noted classicist and professor of Greek at the University of Chicago, the book provides a wealth of examples and exercises designed to help students master the art of Greek prose composition. The book is divided into two parts: the first part covers basic principles of grammar and syntax, while the second part provides a series of model compositions for students to study and imitate. These compositions cover a wide range of topics, from historical narratives and philosophical treatises to fictional dialogues and speeches. Throughout the book, Sargent emphasizes the importance of clear and concise writing, and provides numerous tips and strategies for achieving this goal. With its clear and accessible style, Materials And Models For Greek Prose Composition is an essential resource for anyone seeking to improve their proficiency in ancient Greek.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

First, the passages are arranged according to style and subject-matter for convenience of reference. Secondly, to each English piece, except in the Miscellaneous part, references are appended to analogous or similar passages in classical authors of approved merit, with the object of furnishing a model to the student in his attempt to render them into Greek or Latin.. As the selections are mainly taken from standard English i authors, and are not translations, the student must not expect yto find the same thoughts occurring in the same sequence, or similarly expressed, in the passages to which he is referred; ut in all cases there will be found some analogy, by comparison or contrast, in the subject, circumstances, or spirit of the parallel passages, sufficient to furnish hints for the treatment of the piece to be turned, and to suggest the style to be oadopted in turning it All composition in a dead language must be by imitation of forms already, as it were, stereotyped; but that is the best which insensibly recalls the tone of a classical author without either travestying his peculiarities or borrowing his phrases.
