At the suggestion of Bert in his capacity as pharr-c guide, I have produced a document explaining how one might go about reciting dactylic hexameters. I'm not sure this is quite what he had in mind. In any case, there's a bunch of text talking about likely stumbling blocks, but the PDF also has a bunch of links to MP3 files of me jabbering away.
Reciting the Heroic Hexameter.
There may yet be some fine tuning.
I beg listeners' indulgence at my vocal quality. The transition out of and into winter always leaves my voice a little rough.
WARNING ! WARNING ! WARNING
The mp3s contain the dread Reconstructed Pronunciation. Those modern Greeks who expect me to pretend that Homer talked like them will cry. So don't listen.
By way of penance, at the moment I'm listening to an Haris Alexiou album quite loud, Di' Efhon.
