A Historical Greek Reader: Mycenaean to the KoineA Historical Greek Reader provides an introduction to the history of the ancient Greek language by means of a series of texts with linguistic commentary, cross referenced to each other and to a reference grammar at the front. It offers a selection of epigraphic and literary texts from the Mycenaean period (roughly the fourteenth century BC) to the koin (the latest text dates to the second century AD), and includes a wide range of Greek dialect texts.
