Thrasymachus is an excellent and entertaining beginner reader of Ancient Greek. Written by Peckett & Munday, it has been a classic of Greek pedagogy for over half a century.

The bulk of these recordings will be made available to Theodōrēī Tier Patrons.

Thrasymachus may be found on Amazon here.

εὐχαριστῶ σοι, ἔλαθον ταυτὴν τὴν ἐκφωνήν. ἤκουσα καὶ εἶπα «τί ἐστί; ἠ Ἀντιωχικὴ ἐκφωνή οὐκ ἐστί.» ἶδων δε εἶναι Μεμφιτικὴ ἐκφωνὴ ἐμνημονεύσομαι καὶ ἐγελοῦν.

Χαίρω σε οὕτως αἰσθόμενον! Χάριν. Δι’ ὀλίγου εἶσι τὸ τῇ Ἀντιοχειανῇ προφερᾷ.

Ναί οἱ δε προφεροῦντες αὐτὴν πληνθήνονται δι ὅτι τίνα NT παιδεύματα ἄρχουσι χρῆσθαι ἣν ὁ Καντωρ ἔκδοται, e.g. Mounce εἶπε «I may have to repent of my lifelong use of Erasmus.»

I have to run quickly, so I'm not going to type mangled Greek I can't check a few times after send. I don't have the book so that it might already be that way, but I looked at Athenaze online a little while back to see what I could use from it for my children. They also appear to be moving that direction: https://athenaze.com/introduction/#alphabet

Thanks for that link. Yes, that's a video by the Biblical Greek institute, which uses a Buthian-type pronunciation. The video there is nicely made, but the fellow giving the instructions needs to work on his phonetics, as his pronunciation too far from the intended phonemes to be useful to achieve a good Buthian-Kantorian pronunciation (that is to say, his native English is having too strong of an effect on his Greek).
