Are there tools within Logos to learn Ancient Greek, not modern Greek
Nearly all Logos tools are geared towards Koine Greek.
While it's not as big of an issue on Logos, if you're trying to learn Greek to study the Bible, you'll want to look for resources that say "Koine Greek" or "Biblical Greek" rather than "Ancient Greek". The latter typically refers to an earlier form of Greek used by Plato, Homer, etc. You'd be able to follow what it says, but run into a lot of linguistic differences.
There are (at least) three kinds of Greek: Ancient (Attic) Greek, Koine (Biblical) Greek, and Modern Greek. They are different. In the same way that Middle English can be deciphered by a modern English speaker, you can read Attic Greek, but it is (surprisingly) a more complex language than Koine Greek.
If you really meant 'ancient,' no, there are no tools in Logos to learn it, but there are quite a few resources (books) written in it in the big, free Gk download for which I've forgotten the name.
If you mean Koine Greek, there are tons and tons of tools, books, etc. If this is what you are after, I recommend starting with Danny Zacharias' book as it meshes with Logos very well…designed to do so from the ground up.
Greek is an interesting anomaly in Indo-European language. This might be of interest: https://www.academia.edu/30250643/Archaic_Classical_and_Hellenistic_Greek_Poetry_Some_Contributions_to_the_History_of_the_Ancient_Greek_Language

AND that crazily important … how to calculate Hercules height!
But 'nearly all' as koine, true. I now image koine as Macedonian greek. One of the lessons in my recent reading on greek, is that it's naive to propose 'koine greek' … more accurately which version of koine greek, throughout the empire.
@DMB I'd love to see the list…my search turned up nothing other than the public domain works I cited above.
I just typed in 'Attic'. In my tagging 'PRS' is Perseus sourced; the rest purchased over the years. The English-Greek Dictionary is more accurately a lexicon and quite good. The greek grammar for colleges is a detailed look at classical greek (Attic per the author).
OK .. I expanded a little to 'classical greek' in the title:
Logos is also selling the following bundle for those who want to learn Classical Greek:

There are lots of resources for Attic and Homer and I use them a bunch especially with multiple book displays, but the synchronization is often wonky. Perseus is a huge plus. I enjoy an embarrassing number of Loebs. In addition to @BKMitchell's list, there's Gildersleeve's Syntax of Classical Greek: From Homer to Demosthenes.
But nobody knows if the OP really cares. I'll bet there was interest in Koine. 😊
True, probably Koine. I've read arguments modern Greek is closer to Koine, vs Koine to Classical (rate of change).

I need to include an image in Notes and a Sermon. Yet it doesn't seem to work to just copy and paste it. On the notes there is an official "image" button, but when I click it it wants me to upload it in a way that looks more formal than just copying and pasting. This all said I have three questions: If I do upload an image…
Has anyone used this book? I can only get it to work as a Reverse Interlinear, which (i) is contrary to the product description and (ii) frankly is useless for anyone wanting to read the Greek (which is exactly what the book encourages). Sadly. Logos customer support just couldn't understand the issue. I have ordered the…

As already asked here (but presumably buried in the thread), I would like to know from @Logos / Verbum officials, a) If Study Assistant in Verbum behaves differently from Study Assistant in Logos (given the fact that Verbum is marketed as a Catholic App). Or does that only depend on my personal inventory of resources, many…
