I just started Book II again. And almost immediately stumble on the use of the aorist, where I would expect a present tense:

line 25: 
κέκλυτε δὴ νῦν μευ, Ἰθακήσιοι, ὅττι κεν εἴπω·

What does the use of the aorist convey here, in this direct speech? The speaker is not referring to something he already said, he's just starting to talk, so it can't be the 'constative' use Rijksbaron talks about in his 'The syntax ...

Hello,

Does anyone have a mirror of the greekgeek.org answer key for Pharr saved? The Wayback machine has been down, I think because the current owners of the domain have denied access through robots.txt. http://web.archive.org/web/200805290412 ... kgeek.org/

Obviously if anyone knows another site that I could get the answer key at, that would be fantastic.

Thanks,

Discovered this interesting Ipad app a couple of days ago. It contains a complete digital image of the Venetus A manuscript alongside an English translation of the Iliad.

I'm working with Schoder's book and there's something I don't understand.

There are some active (not deponent) verbs that have active endings in the present stem.

Then in the future stem, they suddenly have Middle-Passive endings. Do this mean that in the future they still have active meaning?

If so, my question then is how, for those verbs, is the Future Middle-Passive expressed?

Thanks for any help...

I have need of translation help for line 97 from book one of the Iliad:

The Monroe and Allen OCT text has this:
ουδ᾽ ο γε πριν Δαναοισιν αεικεα λοιγον απωσει

A literal translation of this seems pretty straightfoward:

Is there a Greek learning workbook for "The Odyssey" similar to the Pharr book for "The Iliad"?

Does anyone know what happened to West's edition of the Iliad? It doesn't appear to be available for purchase at any online site.
I know that there were some critical reviews of it when it was first published, but was it really so bad that it would go out of print so soon?

Hi-has anybody seen the scanned version of Pharr-Homeric Greek? My old paperback copy is really falling apart-need a new copy, & i notice the "scanned" version is cheaper than the original. Wonder about the quality though, if it's quality printing or not. Any thoughts? Thank you!

What does face=spionic mean? Is that the code to indicate that the SPIonic font will be used? In any case, although I have the SPIonic font installed on my MacBookPro (OS X 10.6.6), enabling me to read the SPIonic font on the Cornell College Athenaze Resources website, I see only letters in the Roman alphabet in the Pharr Discussions by Chapter links, e.g., viewtopic.php?t=3225 : A)trei/+dhj. Is there something ...
