Grade 6 Greek
A quarter of courage and endings, from the charge at Marathon and the quiet epitaph at the Hot Gates to the wooden wall of ships at Salamis, the marble of the Parthenon and a family games day at Olympia, each story opening the next room of the language: the whole map of the noun in its four cases, the genitive that owns, the dative that receives, adjectives dressed to match their nouns, and verbs that can at last say yesterday and tomorrow.
