Also see Ariadne: Resources for Athenaze, conceived by John Gruber-Miller and Cindy Benton. The website offers activities that integrate language and culture and helps Greek language students and their teachers see the ancient world through the eyes of "Others": women, metics, slaves, non-Athenians, and non-Greeks. By including images of the multicultural world of the ancient Aegean, culture questions, readings of ancient Greek texts and inscriptions, writing activities, and oral scripts, Ariadne provides a multisensory environment for learning ancient Greek that provides a balance between sentence-level grammar and discourse-centered activities.
