Thanks, I'll have to look it up.
I'm at that stage where I have to work hard at translating (and developing fluency), but I'm growing more distrustful of translations in general (without going back to the original to check for myself).
But it is a joy to spend the time with Euripides.

Your video also reminded me of the Corinthian columns on our local city hall. (Photo testing the zoom on my new phone.)

Moving house, unpacking everything, supporting elderly relatives... but there were some fun things too. But the study/work combination shaped the previous 6.5 years, so I need to get back while I can - and for the poor old brain. 😅

I feel that joke intensely at the moment! 😅

My grand plans to consistently read some Latin while I did two years of Greek grammar came to little, but I console myself that it should be easier to learn again.

This semester is only Euripides, so how difficult could that be?

Also I saw this earlier today, before your message, and I actually thought I should send it to you. (I recognise it may be considered naff or otherwise uncouth to share this sort of thing in Eg'ology circles)

And I'm well, although the restorative six months off didn't really work out restorative in the slightest.

But the rising fear of third year Greek after eight months away from the books is tempered by the excitement at getting back to it. 🤓

Thank you, but you're too kind. 😊 (I won't critique your η, since I'm not sure I'd do much better...)
That's a lovely video. I learnt something about bees, the Corinthian order and Acanthus (Acanthi? Acanthotes?)

I'm looking forward to reading it (apparently I will receive it for a birthday soon). After two years of taking ancient Greek lessons of my own, this will be interesting.

Kenneth Slessor's poem Beach Burial used to have his name and 'El Alamein' at the bottom. (Slessor was a journalist and war correspondent during WWII.)

I can still recite most of the poem decades after learning it at school.

A lot of fun listening to your Oddysey stand up this morning. And I agree on the importance of his cheese-making. With sheep and cheese, Polyphemus can't be all bad. 👁

The Heroides have some beautiful lines.

Also, a lot of the technical things I read about feeds were way too complicated for my level of knowledge (or interest), so I needed something easier to use. The site above worked ok for my "learn a few things and fumble through it" approach.

I used this site, reading online and experimentation to refine the criteria. Still picks up random references and things like Latin music, but it's better than nothing on a good day.
Sorry I can't be more useful, but it was a while ago, and I've done a lot of Greek since then...
