Xenophon, X: Xenophon's Anabasis - Xenophon

Résumé :
Excerpt from Xenophon's Anabasis: Seven Books

Books V. - VII. Have' been edited for sight-reading. The text has been paragraphed, new and rare words translated at the bottom of the page, and various hints given for the rendering of the more difficult sentences.

Thus edited, these books furnish admirable material for practice in sight reading. It is recommended that before this is made a distinctive feature of the recitation, not less than three books be read, and the Lists of Words thoroughly mastered. Other suggestions are made elsewhere.

If the time allotted for preparation in Greek for college is short, there is no good reason why the latter books of the Anabasis may not be read at sight in the Freshman year. Xenophon's style is so charming, that the student cannot do better than familiarize himself with it before other authors are taken up.

Besides the map showing the route of the Anabasis and of the Retreat we have added a map of Greece, singularly omitted from other edi~ tions when it is remembered that the Greeks were levied from nearly all parts of Greece, and that when individuals are first mentioned their place of residence is usually given.

In order to save the time usually lost in searching through many pages of the grammar, we have added several pages of compactly printed paradigms of nouns, pronouns, adjectives, participles, and the more difficult verb-forms, for ready reference.

The bibliography essays to give only the more important editions and helps.
