News of Homeric Greek and Pharr's Homeric Greek - A Book For Beginners

Periodically I return to Samuel Clarke's editions of the Iliad and the Odyssey. Alas, my Greek is nowhere near so fluent as my Latin, and Clarke has been an enormous help in getting me through large chunks of the texts.

I note many differences between the Greek hexameter and the Latin, and of course I have some questions regarding the versification.

1) In the opinion of the Textkit scholars, where's my best starting point for ...

I have no message right now. Forgive me my wasting bits and bytes :-)

Does anyone know where i could purchase a copy of the Iliad, in Greek to be sure, preferably with some good notes.

I am unable to find anything but translations, or books that only have book I-III, etc.

I am after the whole thing in a book, if possible.

Does anyone know of such edition?

Thanks,

Forgive me for this possibly dumb question, which I may even have asked years ago in my first go at Homer. I've noticed that in the Textkit key for Pharr, any declension of πάτÏ￾η always has the accent on the last syllable. Pharr has it on the first. What's up with this?

At what point in a Homeric Greek student's "career" does Monro come in most handy, and why?

Hello,

I have created this topic for a place to run for all the much needed help I will need as I try to teach myself Greek. My first questions are about pronunciation of vowels and diphthongs.

How does the pronunciation of ο and ω differ? Is it just a matter of vowel length?

I remember when learning the pronunciation of Latin that Ï… has no English equivalent, that it's a close front rounded vowel, ...

Hi, all. I've been gone for a long time, because I was so frustrated about the lack of learning tools that fit my learning style (lazy :? ), such as a "5,000,001 Ancient Greek Verbs Fully Conjugated". Anyway, I have completely forgotten what little I had learned about Greek. I looked at Marinone on Amazon as a potential learning tool, but thought it would only frustrate me ...

Hi there, everyone, I've just joined up to textkit. I'm learning Greek with A Reading Course in Homeric Greek and am really having a good time. Thanks for providing the service!

So to get to the question, every preposition that I've learned up until Ï€Ï￾ός has seemed to have a bundle of closely related meanings, like "ὑπό - from under, under the influence of, motion underneath, resting underneath". So why does Ï€Ï￾ός then have such ...

Salvete Graeci,

A few years ago someone posted an interesting example of a 19th cen. attempt to translate a fragment of Homer into English following strict hexameter meter. I have searched for this on Textkit, but cannot find it. Could someone with a better memory direct me to it, amabo te?

Valete,

Salvete Graeci,

Does anyone know of a complete recording-in Greek-of the Iliad? I have listened to the excerpts read by Stanley Lombardo

but I would like to listen to the entire poem.

Valete,
