My beginning Greek text, way back in the 20th century, was Crosby and
Schaeffer
(1928). I still remember being amused by the explanation for the dative of
possession:
The dative of possession in Greek is identical to the dative of possession in
Latin:
Puero gladius est.
No further explanation given! Out of about 10 or so students in the class, I
was the only one who had taken Latin previously...>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
======================
I must have bad taste. That book has just come back in print and I almost
bought it :-) Like Machen, it looked easy for someone with a bit of high school
Latin in their backround.
