Subject: [B-Greek] Jesus of Nazareth  (Movie) in  Greek?


Hello all,

After watching the movie "Lord of the Rings" and also "Jesus of Nazareth", I 
think that it would be a very
positive and rewarding project to try to make audio, text of the audio, and text 
of the actions of one of these
movies in ancient Greek. 

I think one of the best video projects would be to create such a resource for 
the movie Jesus of Nazareth.  

This was/is a movie/miniseries about the life and death of Christs. You can read 
an article on Wikipedia at 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus_of_Nazareth_%28miniseries%29 . Any other 
movies about Jesus would
also be an option for such a project. Another movie / movie series under 
consideration would be C.S. Lewis'
The Chronicles of Narnia, but even moreso, the series by J.R. Tolkien, The Lord 
of the Rings.

What would need to be created is 1) the text and 2) the audio (in a consistent 
dialect) of the script, and 3)
captions/subtitles of the  actions which occur side-by-side with the audio of 
the movie. This is a project which
I think can be accomplished in a year or two. The first book of Harry Potter has 
been translated into Attic. 

It has received good reviews. There are many more students of New Testament 
Greek than there are of Attic.
Many students of New Testament Greek would view such a video over and over 
again.  Many voices would 

be required to create such an audio, along with a subscript text of the action.

Those who would want to participate in such a year/two year endeavor must be 
able to do one of two things:
1) Read Greek aloud with emotion and an accent/dialect amenable to all (perhaps 
Randall Buth's Restored
Koine) and/or 2) have the technical ability (advanced Greek skills) of being 
able to write captions and 

transcribe the script of one of the movies in the common Koine dialect. 

Perhaps we could start such a project a year from  now, once people are lined 
up. What do  you think? It 

would probably take a year or two to finish.

TI FRONEIS; τί φρονεῖς;
