NiftyGreekHandouts

Classical Greek Morphology overviews (mostly). No explanations, just the forms.

These handouts originate from my bereft feeling when I started teaching in the US and could no longer refer my students to the Kleine Griekse Grammatica by Nuchelmans, whose §36 (λύω) had all but fallen out of my copy by the time I graduated high school. My searches failed to turn up an English-language equivalent for these go-to paradigms.

Almostallhandouts.pdf contains:

-a and o declension plus definite article

-def. art., relative, indef., interrog., demonstratives (ὁ, ἡ, τό; ὅς, ἥ, ὅ; τις, τίς; ὅδε, οὗτος, ἐκεῖνος)

-personal, reflexive, reciprocal pronouns

-consonant declension (two pages)

-quantifiers: πολύς, μέγας, comparatives in -ων, πᾶς all, εἷς one, οὐδείς no-one, 2, 3, 4.

-λύω

-εἰμί, εἶμι, φημί, look-alikes οἴομαι, οἶδα, εἶδον

-contract verbs

-aorists: sigmatic, 'pseudo-sigmatic', thematic

-perfect

-mi verbs, present stem forms

-mi verbs, aorist stem forms + ἔγνων

-ἵστημι overview

Mayandmight.pdf gives an overview of uses of subj and optative; plus an overview of conditionals.

Squiggles.pdf gives a first introduction to accentuation (limitation and properispomenon (σωτῆρα) rules only)

Lion.pdf is the old 'Adventure with a Lion', with accents added. Not a complete overview of prepositions! This is a version slightly adapted from Teach Yourself Greek; here's hoping one page with edits falls under 'fair use'. 'U. 12' is an outdated reference to prepositions introduced in unit 12 in the first edition of D.J. Mastronarde, Introduction to Attic Greek.
