Re: HELP with HOMER

Thank you for the links Carl. I think I should get a handle on the hexameter before moving forward. These links will help. Perhaps then, some of the word order will make more sense.

Re: HELP with HOMER

You have been reading this aloud as dactylic hexameter verse, haven't you? :oops: Unfortunately I haven't the foggiest clue what that is supposed to sound like. If not, you must. You'll get much more out of it by hearing, feeling the rhythm of the Homeric line. I assume I will need to change my pro...

Re: HELP with HOMER

2) Does anyone see anything wrong with my translation and understanding of the text? That's too broad a question, really. There's not one single right way to do this -- have you noticed how many English translations of the Iliad are on the market? I think that if you want suggestions from members o...

Re: HELP with HOMER

And thank you Wes for your interest, and Mark for the link to an Attic translation (very interesting and helpful). Here are lines 6.5-11 5- Αἴας δὲ πρῶτος Τελαμώνιος ἕρκος Ἀχαιῶν 6- Τρώων ῥῆξε φάλαγγα, φόως δ᾽ ἑτάροισιν ἔθηκεν, 7- ἄνδρα βαλὼν ὃς ἄριστος ἐνὶ Θρῄκεσσι τέτυκτο 8- υἱὸν Ἐϋσσώρου Ἀκάμαντ᾽...

Re: HELP with HOMER

Homeric verse composition, so says the theory, is a matter of an entire memorized trove of expressions in perfect metrical formulation that are to be fitted together like jigsaw puzzle pieces so as to form an intricate and intelligible pattern. Wow, I had no idea that was the theory. That is wild.....

HELP with HOMER

As a new years resolution I decided to get a decent grasp on Homeric Greek. I haven't read much of anything outside the NT, so I purchased Geoffrey Steadman's reader of Homer's Iliad books 6 and 22. I am starting with book 6. After reading 3 pages, I was already beginning to realize that it would be...

#3 Lysias' Λόγος ὑπὲρ τοῦ ἀδυνάτου

I'm sure by now, you are beginning to get a first impression of the degree to which there are similarities and differences between this Greek and the Greek in the New Testament. As difficult as it is, it still seems like the same language. It is mostly the vocabulary I am struggling with (both with...
