Carl Conrad seems to recommend the JACT (Joint Association of Classical Teachers) series
as what he would use to teach Classical Greek. You need the Text & Vocabulary, the
Grammar & Exercises, and the Independent Study Guide (3 books - apparently a 2nd
edition came out in 2007). When I mentioned that I was now self-teaching with
Mastronarde's book (+ answer key book), he commented that it was perhaps the best of the
"traditional"-style grammars. So far Mastronarde seems to be going okay, but slowly, as I'm
also working full-time and teaching a Koine class with Croy's grammar for which I have to
develop answer keys. I tried JACT in the past, and it went well, too, for as long as I used it
before other commitments distracted me - it's more inductive in terms of lengthy reading
passages.
