Gosh, I feel all big-headed now.How does that go Thucydides? You possibly couldn't know all that stuff you described, from highschool?
And what resources did you use for this? I have Sihler's magnum opus, and I recently got Fortson's Indo-European Language and Culture: An Introduction (Blackwell Textbooks in Linguistics), which I just love (Sihler is a little overwhelming, frankly).Thucydides wrote:Some topics, like philology have been essentially self taught.

That's very sadchad wrote:one thing that i remember is going back to our lib to find some plato in greek, once i could read a bit after finishing uni. went to the phil section and there was the full set of OCTs for plato and aristotle lined up, i opened them and the spine crackled upon being opened for the 1st time. all the other books were grimy from years of use but the core of western phil in the original sat there unused... i'm sure the plato OCTs are well used at O.
