Description
Cebes' Tablet: An Intermediate Ancient Greek Reader This collection brings together two key works for students of Ancient Greek looking to progress from first-year grammar and morphology. Cebes' Tablet and Xenophon's paraphrase of Prodicus "Choice of Heracles" explore the themes of choice, wisdom, and happiness through allegory. The edition includes introductions, extensive vocabulary assistance, grammatical, historical, cultural, and literary notes for each work, as well as several appendices. These provide valuable context and visual materials to enhance understanding of the narratives within their cultural and historical settings. The book also features a facsimile of Kenneth Sylvan Guthrie's 1910 English translation of Cebes' Tablet and four works that engage the moral and ethical propositions in a visual medium. For those making the transition from first-year studies, this edition offers a valuable resource for exploring unadapted prose narratives.
