## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Systematic and comprehensive
  

*by O***H on Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2022*

The book covers difficult grammatical systems with incredible succinctness and intuition.3RD DECLENSION: For example, the 3rd declension is turned from a complicated set of cases and exceptions for each type of sound (dental, nasal, palatal, etc.), which would require weeks of memorization, into 12 simple rules which cover everything. And I do mean simple, such as:"Nominative singular: if it does NOT end in ν, ρ, τ, or οντ, add -ς to the stem."Take 12 of those and you've got the whole 3rd declension.VERBS: The verbal system is also spectacularly handled. Smyth divides the stems into 9 simple, intuitive systems, wherein every other tense naturally fits on, like plugging an accessory into a phone.PRONOUNS: Smyth divides things logically when it comes to pronouns as well. In Cambridge's Grammar of Classical Greek, they isolate αὐτός away from any real case, and take very obscure routes in explaining the difference between the attributive, pronominal, and adverbial senses in the syntax (i.e. ὁ αὐτὸς θέος as opposed to ὁ θέος αὐτός). Smyth, however, correctly subdivides everything conceptually and intuitively.Out of all the Greek textbooks I have, Smyth's has proven to be the best in terms of authorship, convenience, intuitiveness, and scope. The one part I don't like is the section on the particles, which is mostly because Greek particles require a whole separate book (which you can find here on Amazon as well, by Denniston).

    Great Reviews Here!
  

*by L***H on Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2023*

I would add one point worth mentioning that I’ve not seen mentioned here yet. Smyth’s Greek Grammar, in addition to being THE standard, contains two absolute gems:  a list of “Advanced Works on Grammar and Dialects” from his Introduction and a very informative listing of grammatical and rhetorical “figures” tucked away toward the end of the book entitled “Some Grammatical and Rhetorical Figures”. Both are well worth a deep dive.

    NOTA BENE: Smyth finally more (financially) accessible - Get the Martino Paperback
  

*by J***B on Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2014*

I'm a classics major transitioning from intermediate to advanced Greek, so I decided to invest in this seeing as I basically sleep with my A&G under my pillow and like knowing even the minutia of certain grammatical topics. However, I was wary of the price of the hardback and slightly scared by the bad reviews that indicated that some had purchased the incorrect book (it no longer appears that amazon is selling this book, smyth's school grammar, on this page so no need to worry) so I decided to take a risk and buy the new martino books paperback that no one's mentioned as of yet. I just got it and it matches up perfectly to the hardcover smyth and seems to be an exact facsimile. The printing is clear and there is no smudging. Granted, because the book is thick, I expect the softcover and spine to wear away in a few years but this is to be expected. If you want Smyth but don't want to shell out 50 clams, get this one for 26. Martino has also come out with an equally affordable intermediate L&S, which my friend owns (and loves) and which is waiting for me in my college PO box. Exactly what I was looking for. Apologies for the incoherent review, I was just very eager to get the word out.
