Hello everyone. I’m learning Ancient Greek with the help of old books and my computer. I’m starting with Homeric Greek because it has epic stories of gods and heroes, but my goal is to be able to sight-read any dialect of Ancient Greek. I own Liddell and Scott, and have access to Pharr (an eighties reprint) and Schoeder/Horrigan (the original, forties edition) via my local library. I completed the first quarter of Schoeder/Horrigan vol. 1 on my own (with a lot of help from the notes in Pharr), and I was very proud of myself; however, I was left feeling like I’d learned a lot about the nuts and bolts of Ancient Greek, but it wasn’t a language to me yet, it was still a code. Now that I have an idea of how the language works, I wish to learn to speak it from the bottom of my soul. So, proper melody, pitch-accent, stress, etc. are important to me. I know I’ll never sound like a perfect Athenian, but I want to know the language as it is, not stuff it into my own.
Pleased to meet you all
