Greek language and culture

This book is a gem! Besides the language, the author teaches Greek culture and philosophy. It's a modern book, well-paced, serious but not stern, honest and easy to follow. Very good exercises and answers are provided. After all, in the end you'll be reading Plato, and this alone surpasses any other book on the subject!
