Modern students' lack of formal training in the grammar even of their own language leads to an impatience with the jargon and rules of syntax in their study of the ancient inflected languages. This comparative approach to Greek and Latin (first published in 1934) serves to intruduce students to the syntax of both languages side by side. It has three main thrusts the first critical - to explain usages and the labels and theories attached to them; the second historical - to explain the process by which the languages developed and changed; the third psychological - how did the working of speakers' or writers' thoughts make them express themselves?

"I think you have to be in love with languages to like this book, but then who else would buy it in the first place. Inflected languages are so foreign to an English speaker that every little bit helps. I understood Latin much better after learning Russian. Since Russian has more cases, they are more logical (in my opinion). In a similar way, the presentation of cases in this book makes everything clearer by comparing the two languages. For me, when I compared the different inflected languages I could get to the basic meaning of each case, instead of just memorizing individual functions. I also learned in this book that "accusative" is a bad translation of the term used by the Greeks, which is why it doesn't make much sense. If you are crazy about languages, I recommend this book."
