"W.H.D. Rouse was one of the great 20th century experts on Ancient
Greece, and headmaster of the Perse School, Cambridge, England, for 26
years. Under his leadership the school became widely known for the
successful teaching of Greek and Latin AS SPOKEN LANGUAGES [caps
mine-rb]. He derived his knowledge of the Greeks not only from his
wide studies of classical literature, but also by travelling
extensively in Greece. He died in 1950.">>>>
>From the middle ages through the 1800s it was the NORM for teachers to teach
Latin and Greek as a living language and just using the accent of their own
country, right? And the very young students were able to speak and compose in
Greek WITH ACCENTS as well as read?
