Rating: 3
Summary: like a play you could not hear
Comment: The actual reading is like listening to a shakespearean play given in a theater with a single microphone in the circle of speakers and each speaker being at least ten feet from the microphone. Terrible for learning anything.
Rating: 4
Summary: Very good, but not perfect
Comment: This is a very good source of information on how ancient greek is thought to have sounded. But it is not perfect.
The first part of the tape covers pronunciation rules in general by W. Sidney Allen (author of "Vox Greaca"). This is very clear, but short on examples.
The second part of the tape contains readings from "Reading Greek Text". This is good, but unfortunately I found the audio clarity here to be marginal. This is very maddening when you are trying to listen clearly to the subtle details of a foreign language you would like to be able to mimic.
This complaint aside, it remains that this is one of the few sources of examples of ancient greek pronunciation that I have been able to find. It has proven to be very valuable to me. For this reason I gave 4 stars instead of 3.
I would strongly recommend this tape as well as the entire JACT "Reading Greek" system, of which this tape is an integral part.
