I have taken three Latin courses at the Ancient Language Institute, and it is fantastic. The facilitators are knowledgeable, clear and warm.

The story about the bad musician is so charming. We today also like to tell little anecdotes at funeral services. I imagine that's what this is.
They say the past is a foreign country, they do things differently there. Well, yes, but they were definitely human, and this text does a lot to humanize those ancient people.

I was so early, I saw the title change. Excellent video, thank you.

Your Greek pronunciation is immaculate
Looking forward to meet you in Greece!

[elainethompson]

I can't believe I was able to translate the first sentence about where he was buried. This is the coolest thing ever Greek is awesome

[francescog]

Great job on the video as always!
Anyhow, I was wondering whether you were planning on making videos on Ancient Greek grammar. You are one of the few ancient language teachers on this platform that actually knows them to the point where you could explain them without making awful mistakes about pronounciation and the origin of stems. I think that some videos of yours about this topic would be awesome.

Thanks Luke! So glad you're enjoying Old English with Colin!

[xeviphract]

It's so exciting, recovering words long lost - and not just tax records! Actual human substance. Thank you for breathing life back into this text. Imagine telling the original author how future generations came to read these thoughts.

"Pompeii: The New Dig" on PBS in 3 Episodes rapped up last week and is now available online. It's also the biggest archeological dig at Pompeii for a generation.

Thank you so much for doing this. I had chills down my spine the whole time, almost teared up. I couldn't thank you enough.

[andreaspitsinis]

Wait!!! Plato is Plato because of his broad forehead?? This is literally new information to me!! What.a.find!!!

[byzansimp]

Glad to have helped a bit, amazing video!

[watching]

Many thanks for making this fraction of text available to all.

[SoulcatcherLucario]

i had to stop my ali one on one due to my treatment, but i can confirm that it's an amazing place to learn ancient languages. maybe i'll start it back up after i have fully recovered and back on my feet, it was amazing 💜

[christopherellis]

I have passed through Naples twice. So nice to hear something that I could not have known then. To converse is to chatter. To read is to know for sure.

[antheusmain]

Plato is one of my favorite ever historical figures and it feels amazing to see and read a text referring to his last moments and burial! Btw which Dictionary for Ancient Greek are you using?

[LeoPlaw]

I'm so looking forward to what other texts come out of the Herculaneum project.

Hello Loukas! 👋🏻

Can you make a video with a Timeline showing the various stages of the Greek Language, starting with Mycenaean Greek that is attested from 1, 500BC all the way to the Modern Times.

The Greeks seem to be thee most well documented people via their Language, and it is pretty much NON-STOP continuous!

Would Love to see a video like this as I really do believe that people will marvel at & appreciate even more the Hellenic Language & it’s Long Journey to us in the present day 😃

[iberius]

This find, and hence this VIDEO, is a world treasure. 'Nuff said. Also, pat in the back for me for understanding some of this text without translation. The extensive reading is really paying off. 🤓

Wunderbar, ich lerne jetzt auch Hochdeutsch!
