Thrasymachus, Reading Method, VRoma Project, Web-Based SupplementAbstract
This project began as an attempt by two teachers of Ancient Greek to provide supplementary materials to accompany Thrasymachus, a first-year textbook for learning ancient Greek. While the text itself offers an excellent and appealing introduction to the language using a reading method, it has little explanation of grammar and insufficient exercises, particularly for students who have not studied Latin. Thus, the need for a supplement to the text, now on-line and evolving. The topics discussed in this article include: a brief history and description of the project (see www.vroma.org/~abarker/thrascontents.html), the format of each chapter, a chronology for completion of materials for all 32 chapters in the text, and some ideas for further refinements to link students to on-line information to enhance their study of Ancient Greek.
