CGCG = Cambridge Grammar of Classical Greek. It's the first full-scale reference grammar of Classical greek in English in over a century and pretty much supercedes traditional Greek grammars like Smyth's as it uses more modern terminology for certain matters of morphology/syntax and goes into deeper stuff like word order. It's also much easier (IMO) to read and understand than Smyth's grammar, though in some areas Smyth does go into extra detail.
I'm almost finished my second readthrough of CGCG and it's been making a world of difference in how I approach grammatical questions in Greek NT/LXX as well as opening up a whole new world for me e.g. Classical Greek authors like Xenophon whose Anabasis I'm currently reading. Highly recommend buying CGCG slogging through it, should take about a year or so :-)
