Synopsis
The Beginner's Greek Composition, Based Mainly Upon Xenophon's Anabasis, Book I (English Edition) by William C. Collar is a practical, classroom-tested introduction to writing Ancient Greek through guided composition. Built around the language and style of Xenophon’s Anabasis, this volume helps learners move beyond translation and begin actively producing Greek with accuracy, confidence, and a growing command of idiom.
Designed for students who have acquired the fundamentals of Greek grammar, the book provides carefully graded exercises that lead the learner step by step from simple sentences to more structured passages modeled on Xenophon’s clear Attic prose. By working “mainly upon” Anabasis Book I, readers reinforce vocabulary, syntax, and common constructions in a consistent literary context while developing the habit of thinking in Greek rather than relying solely on English-to-Greek substitution.
Clear in approach and rigorous in aim, this composition manual supports both independent study and formal instruction, making it an enduring resource for anyone seeking a disciplined pathway into Ancient Greek prose composition through one of the most accessible authors of the classical canon.
