Introduction
I dont teach Ancient Greek, but I wish I did. I wish it so strongly
that my graduate thesis was about introductory textbooks for Ancient
Greek. One of the things I realized in my research is that there is very little
in the way of materials that are oriented toward visual learners. (Yeah,there are pictures in the books, but not anything at all like a modern
language textbook.)
So I set out to fix that problem in some small degree. What you
have on your computer screen or in your hand is a very rough draft of that
solution. There are doubtless problems and mistakes in this book. Id love
to hear from you about them. I believe in incremental improvement and
have no ego about being told Ive made a mistake.
I have also tried to do two things with the pictures. The first is
pedagogical. I selected Greek settings and ancient Greek cultural products
for the images in the picture dictionary. If, as language teachers, we wish
to convey the target culture in the most accurate way possible, we should
use authentic materials. These materials are somewhat lacking for
antiquity. I have no time machine to go back and catch 5th Century BCEAthenians going about their business, so the next best is their
archaeological remains and art.
The second thing is that I have also tried to find sources of these
materials as close to the public domain as possible, which has not proven
easy. Though I am a big believer in open and shareable cultural products,
this one is not as open as I would like. Why? My intention is to get this
ready for publication both digitally and in print. At its current stage of
development, it is still nowhere near ready for that kind of The current
edition has been produced on a Cromebook, so if there are any design

infelicities I beg you to forgive them. If there are doubts about the power
of the Chromebook, look no further.
