A Reading Course in Homeric Greek, Book 2

ix

Acknowledgments

Without the encouragement and support of Ron Pullins at Focus Publishing, I would never have
undertaken this volume. I also owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to Kathleen Brophy, Linda Diering,
and Cindy Zawalich at Focus. They were endlessly patient, cheerful and efficient in shepherding this
manuscript through its various stages, and I felt confident in relying on their expert judgments on many
issues. The comments of the reviewers, Michael Shaw at the University of Kansas and Tom Winter at the
University of Nebraska at Lincoln, significantly improvevd my efforts. Greek students, past and present, at
the University of California at San Diego, whose practical problems in learning to read Greek have guided
me in writing this book.
