ScorpioMartianus | The Iliad in 8 Greek Pronunciations with Pronunciation Guide โ๏ธ Ilias I.1-7 (English and Latin subs) @ScorpioMartianus | Uploaded October 2023 | Updated October 2024, 6 hours ago.
What did the Iliad sound like in Ancient Greek? In this video, I will show you how to recite the first lines of Homer's epic in Classical Attic Pronuciation, Koine Pronunciation, and Modern Greek Pronuciation. Since Koine Greek underwent so many attested changes between Classical and Mediaeval Greek, I have divided these transformations into six pronunciation conventions, part of a system called "Lucian Pronunciation," named after Lucian of Samosata, one of the great authors of the Koine Period. In this video, I teach you how the phonology of Greek changed from the 6th century BC to the 6th century AD, and the pronunciation variants you can choose from for your own scholarship.
