This play by Kalliroe Parren, published in 1908, offers a glimpse into the social life of the Greek upper class at the turn of the twentieth century. For a language learner, the text presents a moderate challenge. It features early modern Greek vocabulary and formal structures that differ from contemporary speech. The dialogue is relatively straightforward and conversational, focusing on domestic themes and social interactions. Reading this work will help you become familiar with the linguistic nuances of the period.

Questions about this book

What level of Greek do I need for this book?

The estimate is C1, based on how common the words are and how long the sentences run. It is an approximation, not a test result. With a translation under every sentence you can start one level earlier than you would with a paper copy.

Is this book really free?

Yes. The text is in the public domain and comes from Project Gutenberg, so it costs nothing. In Lingo7 you open the book and read the first page for free; a subscription unlocks the whole library, the audio and the word practice.

How does reading with a translation work?

Lingo7 shows the original sentence and, right under it, the same sentence in your language. Tap a word to see what it means, hear it, and save it for practice. The translation is made while you read, so it works for any book and for 49 languages.

How long does it take to read?

About 1 h 53 min at a native pace, spread over 5 chapters. In a foreign language plan for more: half an hour a day finishes a book of this size in a few weeks.
