Re: Finding Audio Files With Greek-English Reading of the Bible
If anybody is at a point in their progress with Greek that they are wanting to listen to English, while their eyes are following similar, but perhaps unfamiliar Greek texts such as intertestamental or early Christian writings, here is a resource website that will help with that: Biblical Audio - Aud...

Re: Oxia vs tonos accent
[F]or Thrax, τόνος seems to mean accent, and there are three kinds of τόνος. One of these is Oxia. But modern Greek uses monotonic orthography, with only one kind of τόνος. What prompted the unicode consortium to equate a class with an entity in that class? Effectively there has been a loss of a sy...

Re: Oxia vs tonos accent
Stephen: do you know what font your word processor is using for Greek text? Calibri. My preference is a general one tough. In terms of the quote from JT: This normalization means that, for better or worse , polytonic Greek should use the TONOS-based rather than OXIA-based pre-composed characters (w...

Re: Oxia vs tonos accent
If the texts look weird with an upright tonos the problem is in the font. Tonos and oxia should be indistinguishable, slanted acute mark. In polytonic texts, such as miniscule texts up till the 1970's, where there is a need to differentiate between various diacritic marks, that "should" i...

Re: Oxia vs tonos accent
The default B-Greek font that displays on my tablet obscures the distinction as to whether an an acute or a stress marker is in the text. For example, the text: διὰ τοῦτο εὐφράνθη ἡ καρδία μου, καὶ ἠγαλλιάσατο ἡ γλῶσσά μου· ἔτι δὲ καὶ ἡ σάρξ μου κατασκηνώσει ἐπ’ ἐλπίδι· When displayed in a word proc...

Re: Greek Grammar Book Order for Self Learning
Multimedia learning and teaching resources did exist before the digital age, but now they are standard and ubiquitous. A set of audio files on a CD with a book is an example of the least imaginative type of multimedia presentation. Digitalising the illustratiins typically found in books is also a lo...

Re: Oxia vs tonos accent
Whatever new initiative to remove the oxia are taken, there will always be a body of legacy texts that do not conform to the new standard. Standardisation is one option. Another option is catering for the diversity in some ways, like you currently need to cater for when some words carry an accent fr...
