Vox Graeca. Η προφορά της ελληνικής την κλασική εποχή [Vox Graeca. The Pronunciation of Classical Greek]

W. Sidney Allen's book is a succinct scientific study that invites the reader on a quest to reconstruct the pronunciation of Ancient Greek, focusing on the Attic dialect of the 5th century BC. The book provides relevant documentary evidence and enlightening parallels in connection both with the other Indo-European languages and with languages of the Far East and Africa, which are not genealogically related to the Indo-European language family

The result is a concise but detailed introduction to the phonetics of Ancient Greek, which also includes an extensive chapter containing radical views regarding stress. Though mainly intended for classical philologists and historical linguists, the author does not overlook the average reader who is interested in the history of the Greek language from its Indo-European origins to the present day.

W. Sidney Allen served as professor of Historical and Comparative Linguistics at the University of Cambridge.
