Description

The most complete English resource on classical Greek grammar.

"Smyth was among the best, if not the best, teacher of the classics that Harvard had ever seen." -- Harvard University Gazette

"To Smyth, grammar was beauty, beauty - something more than grammar."

Herbert Weir Smyth's Greek Grammar is the most complete work of its kind and is the standard against with other Greek grammars are measured. Being both comprehensive and straightforward, and also containing numerous examples taken from classical texts, it is the ideal resource when dealing with tricky grammatical constructions.

This edition is a reprint of the 1956 revision by Gordon Messing.

Herbert Weir Smyth, Eliott Professor of Greek Literature at Harvard University, was one of America's greatest classicists. His exquisite sensitivity to the nuance of language was legendary. As a teacher he was awe-inspiring, and was, "among the best, if not the best, teacher of the classics that Harvard had ever seen." (Harvard University Gazette)
