"Have patience, my dear. You'll soon be able to read Ancient Greek."
With great gratitude to the VRoma Project for support, encouragement and technical advice, I began to put this supplement to Thrasymachus on-line in the fall of 1999. I completed a three-year project, first editing and presenting Chapters I-XXII, then adding answer keys in pop-up windows for all exercises, next including links to further information relevant to each chapter, and finally writing and refining materials to supplement Chapters XXIII-XXXII. St. Paul's School students of beginning Greek from 2000 to 2004 contributed Greek sayings, with information about their sources, to each section. They graciously suggested corrections and improvements and I am grateful for their help.
