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.
