Cambridge Preterm Intensive Ancient Greek language pack This language pack has been designed to help you get a good grasp of the basics of Ancient Greek before coming to Cambridge. It is based on the vocabulary and grammar of Reading Greek Sections 1–10. Please read this letter carefully. You will be assessed on your comprehension of this material when you arrive at Cambridge. You will be expected to: • identify any Greek word from the Reading Greek list included here • write down from memory any word-table (or paradigm, also included here) as specified
on page three of this document (you will be given a starter form) • write down from memory the principal parts of the verbs in the list included here (you
will be given a starter form) • translate into English some sentences exhibiting this vocabulary and grammar (you will
find a checklist of grammatical topics on page three of this pack) This assessment is not designed to intimidate and does not count toward any final grade: it is merely meant to give you something concrete to work on between now and then, and to assist your Director of Studies and us in ensuring that we have got the right people in the right groups from the start. Everything you need for the assessment is here. As far as supplementing your studies and preparing yourself for term you will find the following resources helpful. We strongly recommend that you purchase a proper reference grammar. H. W. Smyth’s Greek Grammar (revised by G. M. Messing) (ISBN 0-674-36250-0) is the most extensive one-volume grammar in English; it can be found new or used for between £25 and £30; try to find a hardcover version as this will last better. Alternatively, W. W. Goodwin’s Greek Grammar is easily available new (ISBN 1-85399-522-3) for about £20, though second-hand copies can be found for as cheap as £5 on amazon.co.uk and bookfinder.com. Again, hardcovers are much less likely to fall apart than a paperback edition. (Avoid the Elementary version of this grammar; you can in fact download the entire correct version for free from charlieslanguagepage.com, archive.org or textkit.com.) There are other, perhaps more user-friendly, school grammars out there (e.g. Abbot and Mansfield or Morwood’s Oxford Grammar) but bear in mind that they are not proper reference grammars and simply do not have enough information to help you understand Ancient Greek at the level required by your set texts (e.g. you will find very little help with advanced syntax or the language of Homer in these). If you want a nicely laid-out and handy presentation of the word-tables (or paradigms) to supplement your grammar (though all the forms will be found in Smyth and Goodwin), then we recommend H. J. K. Usher’s Outline of Greek Accidence. We will, however, provide many paradigms here in this pack and in our Faculty classes and you will find a variety of supplementary online materials at charlieslanguagepage.com.
In order to deal more ably with the grammatical concepts we will meet in our classes you may find these volumes helpful: • A Student’s Introduction to English Grammar, by Rodney Huddleston (ISBN 0-521-612888) • English Grammar for Students of Latin, by Norma Goldman (ISBN 0-93-403434-6) As far as dictionaries go, we strongly recommend H. G. Liddell and R. Scott’s Abridged Greek Lexicon (ISBN 0199102074); the Intermediate version of this Lexicon has longer entries but it has no more entries than the Abridged version and is bulkier and more expensive. The Abridged lexicon also has many entries that are meant to help beginners; these are omitted from the Intermediate version. The massive, £150 Greek-English ‘LSJ’ is a research-standard lexicon and unnecessary for normal reading purposes, though you can download it for free via a PC and Mac application called ‘Diogenes’ that’s online (just search for it) and even load it into an iPhone or iPad via an app called ‘Ancient Greek’ (by Paul Hudson) from the Apple App Store. Both the Abridged and the LSJ are available on charlieslanguagepage.com. Android has recently begun to display Polytonic Greek correctly; you can find Ben Linksey’s serviceable ‘Ancient Greek Lexicon & Syntax’ in the Google Play store (inter alia), and any browser should be able to display the version of LSJ at philolog.us. The full LSJ and the Intermediate version are searchable on Perseus. You will find in this pack:
• a checklist of grammatical topics covered in Reading Greek 1–10 • a vocabulary list consisting of all the words in Reading Greek 1-10 • most of the paradigms presented in Reading Greek 1-10 (plus much more additional information) • a list of verb principal parts in Reading Greek 1–10
We have created three online activities to complement the pack:
• https://quizlet.com/_2eq6u4 (vocabulary tester) • http://www.quia.com/jg/1994849.html (vocabulary tester) • http://www.quia.com/jg/1994893.html (principal parts tester)
Good luck with your studies and see you soon!
checklist of grammar topics for Intensive Greek students On arriving at Cambridge you will be assessed on the following topics. The assessment will fall into four parts (in each part you will be given some
choice): Section A: Vocabulary: you will be expected to know the vocbulary from Reading Greek 1–10 (supplied here)
Section B: Accidence: you will be expected to write down from memory any word-table (or paradigm) of any word listed on this page (you will be given a starter form—no dual forms are expected): N.B. not every paradigm required has been supplied n the pack
Section C: Principal Parts: you will be expected write down from memory the principal parts of the verbs in the list included in this pack (you
will be given a starter form) Section D: Syntax: you will be expected to translate from Greek into English a few sentences that exhibit the points of syntax as specified below
The assessment will take form as an hour-long online test. Many elements of the test will be generated randomly by computer, so each test will be unique. Some elements will be very simple and some will be more challenging. The test will be marked out of 100 points and only you and your Director of Studies will be given the results. The test is merely designed as a diagnostic tool and will not count towards any final mark or grade at all.
adjectives and nouns, etc. • understanding of gender, case, and number in nouns and adjectives
• declension and use of the definite article • noun and adjective declension of all three patterns of the words that appear in the Reading Greek vocabulary list (complete list and some tables
supplied in this pack)
• form and use of demonstratives, !"# and !$#, %&'("#, and )&!*# • form and use of personal, reflexive, and relative pronouns • form and use of comparatives, including irregulars for +,)-*#, .).*#, .)/*#, 01,)#, and 2%/3#
verbs • understanding of person, number, tense, voice, and mood in verbs
• understanding of verbal ‘aspect’ • conjugation of thematic (-4) verbs (e.g. /34) in the present, imperfect, aorist, and future (indicative, imperative, and optative only—no subjunctive),
active and middle, including participles and infinitives (supplied in pack)
• conjugation of contract verbs in the present and imperfect indicative, active and middle, including participles and infinitives (supplied in pack) • conjugation of (50" ‘be’, (60$ ‘shall go’, and %6') ‘know’ in the present, past, and future; optative and imperative (no subjunctive), including participles
and infinitives (supplied in pack)
• understanding of contract futures, e.g. 0174 fut. 0(78 • understanding of 1st (= sigmatic) and 2nd aorists (thematic e.g. 9:)/%7 and athematic [= root] e.g. 9:;7) • root aorists 9:;7 and 9,747, plus infinitives and participles
• conjugation of <;0", '37)0)$, =2">!)0)$, and '"'40$, plus infinitives and participles
syntax • understanding of prepositions as occasioned in the Reading Greek vocabulary list (supplied in pack) • constructions with comparative adjectives • form and use of participles; understanding of participles used adverbially (= circumstantially)
• understanding of verbs that take participles, e.g. !?,@A74 • understanding of verbs that take infinitives , e.g. :%3/%0)$ • understanding of indirect speech and indirect question
• understanding of optative + B7 N.B. You are not responsible for every form that appears in the tables supplied in the language pack (e.g. dual forms of any word or aorist passives or
the poetic forms of (50" ), only those forms covered by the descriptions above. The tables are meant to be fairly comprehensive and of use for future reference (e.g. when reading Homer). Note too that you will find many words printed with both iota subscript (e.g. C) and adscript (4$) forms as an aid to recognition; sometimes long (e.g. D) and short (E) marks have been printed over vowels as an aid in distinguishing certain elements.

adverbs (see Smyth §§341–345) 1. Adverb-forms are often based on old case-forms, e.g.:
nominative: !"#, $!%#, &'%()# accusative: (very common) !*+,-', !-.", (/0*1', ,2(3*-', !-..4 genitive: !-5, -6, %7,-5, 8#9:, ;0!-<=', ;(!-<=' dative: !>, ,><3, ,%",?, <@(-A)B, 0-/'>, .4C*B locative: -D0-/, !-E, FAC(-E, C"*%A/, GC2'@A/, !4.%/, ;03E, !%'<@(3E instrumental: H'I, 04,I, -J!I, K<3, 0*LM9, .4C*N ablative: O:, -P,I:, 8,Q*I:
2. Typical adverb endings:
-I:: </0%)I:, 0%.+: -%: $(%, (4.%, ,4R%, S0%, TR% -%0/:: !-..40/:, (L*/40/:, <3040/: -<@': </%**2<@', AL..2U<@', H<@', !%*%U.2<@' -<-': V'<-', ARQ<-', &(M%<1', ,%L*@<1' -,/, -A,/: ;C3.-',), W..@'/A,)
3. Place-adverbs:
place where place from place towards -/, -C/, -A/ or -oL -C3' -<3, -X3, -A3 -D0-/, -D0-C/ -D0-C3' -D0%<3, -Y01'<3 H..-C/, &..%R-5 H..-C3', &..%R1C3' H..-A3, &..%R1A3 &(M-,Q*IC/ &(M-,Q*IC3' &(M-,Q*IA3 !%',%R-E !%',%R1C3' !%',%R1A3 %7,-5 %7,1C3' %7,1A3 Z(-5 Z(1C3' Z(1A3 GC2'@A/ GC2'@C3' GC2'%X3 [.L(!)%A/ [.L(!)%C3' [.L(!)%X3
4. Comparative adverbs are based on neuter singular forms, superlatives on neuter plurals: 0%.+: 04../-' 04../A,% (4.% (\..-' (4./A,% 3] H(3/'-' H*/A,% A-M+: A-M=,3*-' A-M=,%,% H'I &'I,Q*I &'I,4,I !1**I !-**I,Q*I !-**I,4,I
prepositions
accusative genitive dative taking 3 cases
!"#$ round about, near concerning about (poetic) %&$ to, toward, for on on "'() after with among, in (Epic) &*+) to, contrary to from chez, apud &'+$ round about, concerning about, because of concerning &+,- to, toward on the side of at, besides, in addition to .&, under by, under under, by taking 2 cases

!/($ opposite to, in return for !&, from, away from '4- (%-) into, to %2, %5 out, out of, from, from within %/ in &+, before, for 67/ (57/) with
case usage in Ancient Greek and Latin: some major categories For the fullest accounts in English see Smyth and Woodcock (fuller than the just adequate Goodwin and Kennedy), if you have even a little German see Schwyzer vol. 2 for Ancient Greek and Leumann-Hofmann-Szantyr for Latin. This list is not meant to cover specific words that govern particular cases e.g. plenus with the genitive or ablative or καταγιγνώσκω with acc. rei (‘accusative of the matter’) and gen. pers. (‘genitive of the person’). accusative can be said to fall into four major uses:
1. direct object (and also as subject of noun clauses, e.g. in Indirect Speech) 2. marking motion or extent (of time or place): Romam, quattor dies 3. cognate accusative: vitam vivo, δίκας δικάζομαι (a.k.a. figura etymologica) 4. adverbial accusative (≈ accusative of respect): quid, τι: ‘somewhat’, ‘in respect of something’; quid?, τί: ‘why?’
genitive (= Eng. ‘of’) N.B. Schwyzer’s Gk categories: 1. ABLATIVE 2. PARTITIVE 3. OF BELONGING (‘Pertinentiv’) 4. SYNCRETISTIC 1. ‘adnominals’ are any genitives that ‘qualify’ or depend on nouns: fratris mors = mors fraterna 2. ‘adverbials’ are e.g. genitive of the charge, memory (and forgetting), source of emotion 3. possessive: τὸ βίβλιον αὐτοῦ; N.B. hominis errare est, ἀνδρὸς ἀγαθοῦ περὶ τῶν μεγίστων συμβουλεύειν 4. subjective: amor Dei (= amat Deus) 5. objective: amor Dei (= amamus Deum) 6. partitive: tantum pecuniae, εἰς τοσοῦτον ὕβρεως 7. of definition (‘appositional’): Τροίης ἱερὸν πτολίεθρον, virtus iustitiae (Eng. ‘the city of London’ but Lat. urbs Roma) 8. of description: homo eius modi 9. of price and value: magni facio, (περί) πολλοῦ ἂν τοῦτο ποιησαίμην 10. ‘time within which’: anni, ἐνιαυτοῦ or ἔτους 11. ‘of the sphere’ or ‘respect’: ὦ δυστάλαινα τῆς ἐμῆς αὐθαδίας Eur. Med. 1028 (does this cover ‘verbs of forgetting’, etc.?) 12. Gk only: of separation (Lat. abl.) (normally with prepositions or prepositional prefixes) 13. Gk only: of comparison (Lat. abl.) dative (= Eng. ‘to’ and ‘for’) N.B. Schwyzer’s Gk categories: 1. ‘TRUE’ DATIVE 2. LOCATIVE 3. INSTRUMENTAL 4. SYNCRETISTIC
1. of the indirect object: librum mihi da 2. of reference or advantage (or disadvantage): me tibi exorno 3. of agent: mihi faciendum est (only with gerundives) or πεποίηταί μοι (Gk perfects only) 4. ethic: quid mihi Celsus agit? ‘Tell me, what is Celsus up to?’ (cf. Gk τοι ‘I tell you’—freq. in Homer and Plato) 5. of possession: est mihi liber: we normally find esse or εἶναι here (or implied), but not always 6. predicative or purpose + reference: LARGELY SPECIAL TO LATIN: saluti urbi fuit, praesidio mihi es
7. Gk only: of instrument (Lat. abl.) 8. Gk only: of degree of difference: πολλῷ μείζων (Lat. abl.) 9. Gk only: of time and place (Lat. abl.) 10. Gk only: comitative: χρόνῳ ‘with time’ (Lat. abl.) (n.b. special idiom w/ dat. αὐτός) 11. Gk only: of manner: σπουδῇ, σιγῇ (Lat. abl.) 12. Gk only: of cause: νόσῳ ἀποθανεῖν (Lat. abl.) 13. Gk only: of specification (or respect) (Lat. abl.) ablative (= Eng. ‘from’, ‘with’, ‘by’, ‘in’) N.B. L-H-S’s Lat. categories: 1. ‘TRUE’ ABLATIVE 2. INSTRUMENT 3. LOCATIVE 1. of separation or ‘true’ ablative (Gk gen.): libera me metu 2. of agent: with ab in Latin (= ὑπό in Greek) 3. of material (with ex or de in Classical Latin) 4. of comparison: be sure NOT to use quam or ἤ as well! (Gk gen.) 5. of cause: morbo perire (Gk dat. and gen.) 6. of association (or ‘comitative’): normally with cum: this is the origin of abl. abs. (Gk dat. and gen.), a.k.a. ‘attendant circumstance’ 7. of instrument: distinguish carefully from agent (Gk dat.) 8. of description: vir magna sapientia (compare the genitive of description) 9. of specification (or respect): mirabile dictu, umero saucius 10. of degree of difference: multo maior (Gk dat.) 11. of manner: magno (cum) studio (Gk dat.) 12. of place or time: die tertio (Gk dat.)

conspectus of Ancient Greek and Latin subordinate clauses Subordinate or dependent clauses are traditionally (Smyth §2189 and Kennedy §410) classified in three ways:
1. substantival clauses behave like nouns 2. adverbial clauses disclose information that is adverbial (i.e. predicate) to the action at hand 3. adjectival clauses disclose information that is adjectival (i.e. attributive) to the agent or item at hand
This classification is based on an analogy: c lauses are being compared to words . Subordinate clauses are taken to modify the main clause like nouns, adverbs, and adjectives: 1a. Jim annoys me. 1b. The fact that Jim does that annoys me. 1c. I can't stand Jim. 1d. I can't stand the fact that Jim does that. 2a. Jim ran quickly. 2b. Jim ran when he realized he was late. 2c. Jim ran because he realized he was late. 2d. Jim ran although he didn't need to. 3a. I've made an unforgivable mistake. 3b. I've made a mistake which is unforgivable. In each of these examples, a clause underlined in a (b), (c) or (d) sentence plays the same role as the word underlined in the (a) sentence. Each kind of clause has further subclasses:
1. substantival clauses a. relative clauses (best treated as adjectival—see below) b. indirect speech c. indirect question d. indirect command
2. adverbial clauses a. purpose (a.k.a. "final") clauses b. object clauses (really belong under substantives but resemble purpose clauses very closely) —with verbs of effort —with verbs of fear c. causal clauses d. result (a.k.a. "consecutive") clauses e. proviso clauses f. conditional clauses g. concessive clauses h. temporal clauses i. comparison
3. adjectival clauses: relative clauses a. definite b. indefinite [c. "conditional" relative clauses in Gk]
