Planned as a companion volume to "Writing Latin" by Richard Ashdowne and James Morwood, this brand new guide to writing Greek will be useful both in the upper forms of schools and for those starting Greek prose composition at university.

Planned as a companion volume to Writing Latin by Richard Ashdowne and James Morwood, this accessible guide to writing Greek is useful for anyone starting Greek prose composition. Part 1 deals with the constituent elements of the simple sentence, and in Part 2 all major constructions are covered, each with thorough explanations and clear examples. Each chapter has either two or three exercises of practice sentences, further supplemented throughout Part 2 by passages for continuous composition. 100 important irregular verbs with their principal parts are listed at the back of the book, and there is a complete vocabulary for all the exercises, a useful learning and revision resource in itself.

Stephen Anderson is Senior Tutor and a former Head of Classics at Winchester College. He is co-author of Greek Unseen Translation and of Advanced Latin: Materials for A2 and Pre-U. John Taylor is Head of Classics at Tonbridge School, Kent. He is the author of Greek to GCSE Parts 1 and 2, Greek beyond GCSE, Essential GCSE Latin, and Latin beyond GCSE.
