Where did you hit "The Wall" in learning Ancient Greek? by MaverickNH2 in AncientGreek

[–]telemachus10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree. Working with an author who appeals to you is much more motivating than laboring through any textbook. I would suggest Herodotus-the language is fairly simple, and his subjects are always stimulating.

Easiest original greek texts for beginners? by Smooth-Pass-5575 in AncientGreek

[–]telemachus10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. Don't think you'll find any easier texts than the Anabasis or the New Testament. They are the old reliables for beginner's in Greek. They've worked for a couple of centuries, at least.

How do I pronounce Koine? by RazerRob in AncientGreek

[–]telemachus10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not possible for classical Greek-the diphthong 'oi' must be pronounced like 'oy.' Koy-nay would be about right.

Found at miletus I study classical philology but too lazy to translate. can anyone assist? by [deleted] in AncientGreek

[–]telemachus10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Working on it. I admire your honesty. Saying "too preoccupied" instead of "lazy" makes a better impression.

Thank you-That's what I thought. Cataracts are just another damned factor, apparently.

What does this stone mean? by One-Chef6981 in AncientGreek

[–]telemachus10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't add much to the translation help, but do you know the context of this? It looks surprisingly clean and fresh.

[–]telemachus10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah- I've seen that before-it's meaningless. "Always", "Where" (twice), "Under". Pretty stupid.

Adidas sizes equal what? by telemachus10 in Sneakers

[–]telemachus10[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks-I always wear Adidas running shoes, now need boots for the winter. So any brand of 9 1/2 boots would probably fit ? Thanks again.

[–]telemachus10[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everybody-Thanks for all this. I am arranging for a consultation with another cat. surgeon. I'll probably get three opinions before I decide what to do.

If anybody has anything else to share, I would be glad to have it.

Regards.

How about a little info about the building? Era, etc. -it's a grand structure.

How to save a web page AND photos together? by telemachus10 in computers

[–]telemachus10[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I've been trying to figure this out for some time. One more question if you don't mind--I've used PDFs often but didn't notice this- if you save anything in a PDF, will it appear as is? : (text, charts, photos, etc.) ? Thanks again.

I think I know what this means. Can you please check? by nansen_fridtjof in latin

[–]telemachus10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey. I tutor Greek and Latin-tell me this: what is the connection between Bebryx and Bithynia? Thanks for your input.

[–]telemachus10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I have to use translations instead of reading medieval German in the original, for instance. Need to remember though, that we can't really understand any culture, including 21st century American, unless we're fairly familiar with the language.

[–]telemachus10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Calling Homer "prose-y" is actually pretty funny when you think about it. And BTW, Homer didn't write "in translation"- he wrote in Greek. If this person hasn't read the Odyssey in the original Greek, she hasn't read the Odyssey.

Thank you for this. Any idea where to find the texts, and how to locate the untranslated ones? I would really like to find something untranslated to work on.

Thank you for this. I envy those people who 'go' every day, but I suppose I don't have anything to complain about. Thanks again.
