Subject: Ancient Greek

Yeah... I feel envy...

hehe i was 1 week at Ios and im comin back in 1-2 weeks u knw im rly tired i need more vacations xD

Come on darvor you lazy bum... I need those words...

you are lucky today i came back to athens tomorrow will be your lucky day :)

I shall look forward to it. Cheers :)

Well darvor... this certainly doesn't look lucky! :(

hmm it doesnt have any "curses" most of em are mainly quotes only "useful" i think this is :

επεαν ημιονοι τεκωσι (means when mule starts givin births (means that wont happen; )
εως κορακες λευκοι γενωνται(means when vultures become white (means the same as above)
οια κεφαλη εγκεφαλον ουκ εχει(that head doesnt have brain(no need to explain :P )

most of em are quotes if you need help on quotes it has almost all of em(nearly 300 quotes )
sorry that you waited so long :( im rly sorry i couldnt help more but rly if you need any help on quotes im right here ;)

Actually, these three quotes are excellent and I would love to get more about different subjects but if you can also give me the sound of these in English that would be great. How do you pronounce these quotes?
Thank you very much :)

i think that this is difficult because they are in ancient greek.

Can you say the sounds? pronounce? give it a try... I need to hear the sound. please.
If it's only in Greek letters it doesn't help my writing.

epeAn imiOni tekOsi
Eos kOrakes lefkI yEnonte
ia kefalI egEfalon uk Exi



thats how we spell it now if you want the pronounce of ancient greeks(cause its different cause if you could hear em they are singing not talkin its like listening italian (and far better)

and btw
at places ive caps is where you spell it

So let me understand... for example, if I write in my book:

"He will never let it happen..."darvor said "epean imioni tekosi, before he agrees!"

Is this the correct way to use the sentence in writing?

i think that you're right but in my opinion you must write it and in greek language.


*Ancient greek can't be translated to English.

The sentence above is how I write it only I add a reference number and the translation into English at the bottom of the page (i.e. footnote). The book is written in English but I like to insert a few authentic sounds to augment the atmosphere.

These kind of sentences is exactly what I'm looking for and I wish there was some source online that I could find more examples like these three that darvor kindly presented. The help of people here is greatly appreciated.

as for sentece the right use would be like ... hmm ... the enemy army will beat us when mule starts givin births ( hhehehehheehehhe) i think you got it ? :P

Υποθέτω ότι θα βρώ ένα ελληνικό πρόσωπο που ξέρει το αρχαίο Έλληνα όταν… εως κορακες λευκοι γενωνται
:P
