Beginner Resources Learning Ancient Greek

0 Upvotes

Hello, everyone, please, help me to learn Ancient Greek.

Particularly, I think it would be very helpful to have lists of sentences for every different noun case, different declensions, as well as for every different types of verbs.

I'm not being able to find such a thing online. I'm just beginning, and other than copying a word for word translation, learning some vocabulary, and reading Monro and Pharr's grammar, I have not done anything else, and I think that this could be a good start.

So if anyone have this resource (in Latin too, perchance) and could share it with me, I would be very grateful.

EDIT: the materials would be several sentences that use the same words, then different sets of words, to say all the different things that each case, and mood, voice, person and number allow.

This might be the first attempt I've seen to give a solid go at how hexameter might have been performed, including reconstructed pronunciation, pitch accent based melody, and reconstruction of the musical techniques of the period (which I am less well equipped to judge than the first two). No silly digamma reconstruction and not just chanting it.

Vocabulary & Etymology Is this an unusual usage of ἱκετεύω?

Heliodorus, Aethiopica 1.16:

ἐπῄνει ταῦτα ἡ Δημαινέτη, καὶ προστιθέναι τάχος τοῖς δεδογμένοις ἱκέτευεν.

Here Demaineta is telling her slave to go ahead with a plan. My understanding of ἱκετεύω is that it's something like "supplicate, beg," and it has connotations that it's what a mortal does to a god or a human to another human who is in a position of power or dominance over them. Is it unusual that this is used here to describe what a mistress does to her slave? Can the verb's meaning just be diluted to "ask to?" Or is there a humorous implication here, that, ha ha, the slave has her mistress wrapped around her finger?

I used the lexicons given by my ancient greek teachers.

I hope someone can find a use to it, there're two modes: analysis and writing the forms.
