Best books to learn Ancient Greek, in order
Ancient Greek punishes the shortcut of memorizing paradigms without using them, so order is everything. A good path front-loads one clear grammar for the case system and verb aspect, drills it with a workbook, then moves into graded and annotated readers before you ever open unglossed Homer or Plato. Skip the readers and real texts stay a wall of endings; follow the arc and they slowly resolve into sentences.
