Have you ever considered writing some kind of textbook? I'm not
thinking so much of a grammar or a lexicon, but maybe something like "Word
Play in Ancient Greek (for English speakers)"? I could see a well-done book
like this taking a similar place to Metzger's Lexical Aids, in that it's not
an immediately obvious book to buy, but yet one that has become indispensible
to so many.
