Readings of Homer by Greeks in ancient Greek
I see the links for readings for Homer in modern Greek, but are there any links online for readings of Homer by Greeks in ancient Greek.

These recordings are by Helene Kemiktsi of the ProjetHomere (www.projethomere.com) and are recited using the modern Greek pronunciation.markcmueller wrote: ↑Mon Feb 10, 2020 11:40 am https://librivox.org/group/621?primary_ ... et_results
These recordings, although made by non-Greeks (Greg Nagy & Carolyn Higbie), feature the "restored pronunciation", which approximates what Attic Greek may have sounded like in the 5th century B.C.

Re: Readings of Homer by Greeks in ancient Greek
I would think that Ioannis Stratakis is the person that you're looking for. He is a Greek, reciting Greek with a non-Modern pronunciation.

“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.”
