Preliminary Exercises by Aelius Theon the Sophist

Aelius Theon, first century CE, is the name this site attaches to a Greek teacher in Alexandria. Precise dates are not fixed in the files here.

What this site holds is one Greek book: the Preliminary Exercises (progymnasmata).

The book sets a sequence of school tasks in Greek. It is a Greek school-book in this corpus, not a later Latin handbook.
