This text is aimed at beginner readers of Latin who want to build their skills using real language. It takes the ancient Greek myth of Perseus and his fight against Medusa, retold in Latin, and broken down into individual sentences.
Each sentence is presented in Latin, then in word-for-word English (look for the / symbols to see where the Latin word breaks lie), then finally in natural English.
This book is graded, which means it starts simple and gets more difficult as you read. To begin with, the Latin text is suitable for students with less than a year of Latin, primarily using the present and imperfect indicative active. As you progress, you'll come across increasingly frequent usages of the perfect tense, but it's very gradual so hopefully you won't find it too taxing.
Also available in this series: Hercules Made Easy and Caesar Made Easy, for intermediate and advanced readers respectively.
