The goal of this book is to provide readers with an enjoyable illustrated version of a story about the Hippocratic Oath. The Oath itself, which has been handed down for thousands of years in the medical community, is well-known. The Oath is included here, in both Greek and English, but Rosie’s creative backstory provides readers with more. Throughout the book, Greek text appears in speech bubbles and dialogue boxes. A corresponding translation is given at the foot of each page. We hope that readers of Koine Greek will find this work valuable and that it will boost their confidence to venture outside the New Testament.
Peter Rabbit and Other Stories in Koine Greek
Peter Rabbit and Other Stories in Koine Greek includes translations from three of Beatrix Potter’s beloved children’s books, The Tale of Peter Rabbit (1902), The Tale of Benjamin Bunny (1904), and The Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies (1909), with Beatrix Potter’s original artwork. The Greek translation uses words, phrases and idioms derived from the Greek New Testament, the Septuagint, and some other ancient Greek sources. All words appearing fifty times or fewer in the Greek New Testament have been footnoted and glossed at the bottom of each page making this book a suitable resource for intermediate students of Greek.
