polýMATHY | Greek Pronunciation in Ancient Rome: The Variants of Lucian Pronunciation @polyMATHY_Luke | Uploaded December 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
What did Greek sound like 2000 years ago in Ancient Rome? What did it sound like in Athens, Judea, and Egypt during the Classical Roman Period 1st century BC to 2nd century AD? The Lucian Pronunciation System explores this question and presents conventions for reciting and pronouncing the Greek language as it was in the Koine Period, all of which can be used in the classroom to teach Ancient Greek of any period.
