Pindar's Olympian Ode 14
“One might get one’s Greek from the very lips of Homer and Plato." "In which case they would certainly plough you for the Little-go. The German scholars have improved Greek so much.”

Re: Pindar's Olympian Ode 14
nice! they were meant to be sung so I would like to hear the meter a little more clearly & why not try some pitch accents.

Re: Pindar's Olympian Ode 14
I'm afraid that's my best as far as metre goes. The pitch accents, when I try to emphasize them, do not come out sounding natural, so I try not to concentrate on them. Maybe once I can do a Norwegian pitch accent, I'll try to attempt a Greek one.
