Purchase options and add-ons

The aim of this book is to make Hippocrates’ On Airs, Waters and Places and the Hippocratic Oath accessible to intermediate students of Ancient Greek. The running vocabulary and commentary are meant to provide everything necessary to read each page. Hippocrates’ On Airs, Waters and Places is a great text for intermediate readers. The simple sentence structure makes it easy to read, while its subject matter, the impact of climate on disease and character, is interesting for a number of reasons. The presentation falls roughly into two halves, the first detailing various environmental factors that contribute to specific diseases, the second more ethnographic in its account of the differences between Asians and Europeans as a function of their environment and customs.

    I recently retired from Miami University of Ohio, where I taught Greek and Latin language and literature for over 30 years. I am now Professor of English and Comparative Literature at the American University in Cairo. While at Miami I teamed up with my student Evan Hayes to begin producing intermediate readers in Greek and Latin. Our readers aim to provide those who have had a survey of Latin or Greek grammar with texts that they can work through on their own. The text, glosses and grammatical commentary are provided on each page in a format designed to make it easy for readers. These texts, most of them not common in the current curriculum, are also suitable for class use, where instructors can provide more detailed literary and historical commentary--these have been kept to a minimum in our texts.

This is a great commentary for intermediate level Greek students. Commentary and vocab is on the same page as the text and there is additional vocab and a glossary in the back. This is really all you need to comfortable and easily read Airs, Waters, Places at an intermediate level. I used it in my class and will use again.
