Χορός
οὐκ ἂν Ἀργείων τόδ’ εἴη, φῶτα προσσαίνειν κακόν.
Αἴγισθος
ἀλλ’ ἐγώ σ’ ἐν ὑστέραισιν ἡμέραις μέτειμ’ ἔτι.

But I will get even with you in the days to come.

The two pronouns ἐγώ σ’ followed by the temporal expression in that dative with the main verb penultimate followed by the adverb. A fairly typical ordering of constituents with the exception of a ...

Good morning all!

I read the following in John Gill's commentary on Matthew 28:1:

"In the end of the sabbath,.... This clause is by some joined to the last verse of the preceding chapter..."

Now maybe I'm dyslexic but it seems that he has explained 'I have received punishment from my brother' correctly meaning 'he has given me punishmet' ...

For the reading groups etc? Basically...I've wasted a lot of my free time these last few months and need a kick up the backside and Herodotos is great, we don't have to do it all.

Winding down on Agamemnon. Wondering what anyone would like to read. Kind of ready to do some narrative after nine months of Tragedy. Thinking about doing the book of Acts using Culy-Parsons, Fitzmyer AB, Barrett ICC, F.F.Bruce, H.A.W. Meyer, H. Alford ...

Been about 15 years since I did a long study of this book with particular attention given to the western text. Now that Codex Bezae is online it would be a good project ...

"O Sol, qui omnia terrarum opera flammis tuis illustras, tuque Iuno, testis harum curarum, et Furiae ultrices , audite preces nostras : Si necesse est virum impium terram Italiae attingere et sic fata poscunt - at bello et hostium armis ex finibus suis pulsus auxilium imploret videatque indigna suorum funera.

Wheelock's Latin says that a short o is pronounced like the o in off or orb and that a long ō is pronounced like the o in clover.

Why is moneō pronounced 'm oh nay oh' instead of 'mah nay oh' ?
