OCR Anthology for Classical Greek GCSE

«This is a beautifully produced textbook, with attractive embossing on front and back covers, a lovely thing to hold and behold ... An innovation, and one which most purchasers will welcome, is that all the prescribed texts until 2023 are included ... Also useful are the typical questions to be found on most pages, a mixture of the factual and the thought-provoking.»

Journal of Classics Teaching

«Provides a wide selection of mostly unadapted readings from Homer Herodotus (in Attic dialect), Euripides, Plato, Plutarch, and Lucian, enhanced by thorough introductions and fairly heavy glossing of the vocabulary. The overall production of the volume is marked by a similar clarity of presentation (blue and black font, illustrations, notes, etc.) and overall high quality, starting from a generous Introduction and featuring, among other useful items, a ‘How to use this book’ orientation, some Tips for Translation, a Timeline of events and classical authors, as well as a full 2-page map of the Eastern Mediterranean world, indicating the most important city-states and including Greece, Asia Minor, and North Africa … Affleck and Letchford’s OCR Anthology of appealing and generously-framed readings, which span some 1,000 years of Greek culture, will prove a rich and stimulating complement for the third semester (college) or spring of the second-year (high school), culminating in selected original texts of Euripides (Alcestis, Electra, Bacchae), Plato (Phaedo), Plutarch (Life of Lycurgus) and Lucian.»
