Finally, a little slower than some others, my AREIOS POTHR arrived. 

It's quite nice. It reads something like the old Greek novels, and has a
clear Porson-style font that I can read without reading glasses. Andrew
Wilson the translator is to be complemented and thanked for bringing a
breath of fresh air to Greek study and pedagogy. Rapid reading is vital for
language acquisition and a book like AREIOS POTHR can be read without
looking up words that arn't clear at first. Students often don't want to try
such a process when reading a Greek play where they will be tested on a
tight reading at the end of the course.
