One is that the piece is Hellenistic prose (not often picked for intro and intermediate prose), the other is its explicitly pedagogical stance. The latter factor is precisely what made Xenophon, too, more popular in earlier eras for intro Greek. Good advice for the life of the gentleman-general-colonial ruler is now dispreferred in favor of more open-ended themes. Given the practice of racing in the direction of the canon (Plato, Sophocles, Homer in the case of my University), this kind of thing falls by the wayside. Finally, with our emphasis on teaching proper Attic at first, we are also more likely to dismiss texts with Koine tendencies. (Not practical to be telling your students they ought to learn the classical forms and principal parts, when their reading flouts them all over the place:-)Helmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09370867366875949424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10018950.post-35833964630873625462012-04-23T10:22:22.522-05:002012-04-23T10:22:22.522-05:00I was led to your blog, and found this entry.
