It's not bilingual Tom Send a noteboard - 09/04/2015 02:42:47 AM

I intentionally got the Oxford Classical Texts version a while back to avoid the temptation to read a bilingual edition. It's challenging, and slow going, but my Greek is improving phenomenally. Because irregular and archaic forms appear, it leads one into deep, deep etymology.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

Ummaka qinnassa nīk!
