Not quite cold turkey. The only greek text I could get from the  
library was Loeb so there is an english translation on the facing  
page. But as is quite common with Loeb the english doesn't follow the  
greek in a wooden manner and in fact this morning I found even the  
temporal sequence in the greek text was slightly different from the  
english.

I should point out that narrative is probably the simplest genera to  
read with out extensive aids. The problem I was having yesterday was  
actually one of morphology. What I was treating as a strange form of  
a known word turned out to be a normal form of a rare word. This  
happens now and then.
