About

Attic Greek

Features
Read full description

Read Homer's Odyssey. Read Plato's Apology. Read Aristotle in the words he actually wrote. Attic Greek is a rigorous, structured course in Ancient Greek — built for people who want to reach the original texts, not just read about them in translation. WHAT'S INSIDE • 210 progressive lessons — from the Greek alphabet through advanced syntax (participles, the subjunctive and optative moods, indirect discourse), in careful, cumulative sequence • 1,050 quiz questions testing grammar, vocabulary, and translation as you go • 900 vocabulary flashcards with spaced repetition, so words stick • 45 authentic readings, including passages from Homer's Odyssey and Iliad, Plato, Aristotle, Thucydides, Heraclitus, Parmenides, and Marcus Aurelius — annotated with vocabulary and grammatical notes • Streak and XP tracking to keep you moving forward WHY ATTIC GREEK The course centers on Attic Greek, the dialect of fifth- and fourth-century Athens — the language of Plato, Aristotle, Thucydides, and the great tragedians, and the form of Greek most university Classics courses are built around. Homeric passages are included throughout the readings, giving you a real taste of the epic tradition alongside the philosophical texts. No prior knowledge of Greek is required. The course starts with the alphabet and builds one concept at a time. HOW IT WORKS Start free — no account, no credit card, no countdown. The first five lessons, from the alphabet through both noun declensions, are yours permanently, along with one fully annotated reading: the opening of Homer's Odyssey. When you're ready for the rest, continue with a monthly or annual subscription. Attic Greek's curriculum was designed by communication specialists and philologists based in Greece — built by people who know the language, not generated content. Whether you're a Classics student, a philosophy reader who wants Plato without the translator standing between you, or simply curious about where Western literature began, Attic Greek is built to get you reading the originals.
