In this episode of Reconstructed, we narrate a selection from The Art of Grammar ("On Grammar" to "On Particles", exclusively), a post-classical-Greece treatise on the elements of grammar by Dionysius Thraix. Though the author speaks erroneously on a few subjects – to the extent that some question whether the entire piece can be attributed to him – the work is nonetheless an excellent tool for reconstructing ancient Greek phonology, morphology, etymology, and syntax. ******  Thanks for listening to Reconstructed.
