Great! I'm about halfway through Athenaze Vol 1 — do you think I am far enough along to be able to read this?

This is not Plato

Yes, I do (but still learning)! I created this list of you interested in who else does as well:

I decided to start learning Ancient Greek for no particular reason two years ago and it has been very rewarding! Once I figured out how to learn it, my progress has been pretty good, too.

@hntdove.bsky.social I just reflected that your "Guns of the South" (which I read not too long ago and loved, thanks!) is about South African racists travelling to America to screw with our history, and now we have Elon...

Thanks, John. I started reading In Praise of the Useless Life today, inspired by you.

Every Valley: The Story of Handel’s Messiah Handel’s Messiah is the most performed piece of classic…

Just finished reading "Every Valley: The Story of Handel’s Messiah" by Charles King. Great book, highly recommended!

I'm currently focusing on Attic Greek, but I'm looking forward to eventually following some of this advice and learning Homeric...

You CAN learn Ancient Greek using Biblingo, which has similarities to Duolingo but is better at teaching. The app focuses on the Greek dialect used in biblical times, so it is a great place to start.

I was thinking about that too when I watched Spaceman!

Just started reading this yesterday as well. Great book. Terrifying how close we still are to nuclear armageddon yet it feels like a problem from the past.

Great translation. I'm currently reading @emilyrcwilson.bsky.social 's translation of The Iliad to my wife, and this will be next!

Vilken bra idea. Kommer att skapa samma nästa år. Tack för det!

I made a list for myself for this: bsky.app/profile/did:...

Thanks, this is great!

Is there a sizable community of people in Korea learning Ancient Greek?

I've noticed some here on Bluesky, and this after reading Han Kang's Greek Lessons, about a Korean learning Ancient Greek.

BTW, Greek Lessons is a great novel... Han Kang is a genius.

I have a list of my "must read" people to capture that, and then I make it my first tab. Works pretty well.

Looks like some great Ancient Greek books to look into from Juan Coderch!

Somehow I have been learning Ancient Greek for two years but never heard of this podcast series!

Some high profile examples are: Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, Android

You've inspired me to add Βατραχομυομαχία to my reading list. Thanks!

What books did you get?

This is exactly what I find so fascinating about reading ancient works—discovering how similar we are to humans across time. Great collection of translated ancient tablets:

For the past week or so, I've been using the Minimal Phone app to turn my Android phone into a boring phone. Highly recommend!

Where's that time machine?!

After reading this first chapter of Αλέξανδρος, I'm sad I don't have more people to practice my conversational Ancient Greek with 😢

Applying some of my sweet sweet spreadsheet skills to my #AncientGreek learning...

I made it to Chapter 15 of Λόγος, and it seems to have made a big jump in complexity.

You can tell that the people behind Biblingo really take language learning seriously and know the science of language acquisition. They introduce the pieces of Ancient Greek gradually and then give you practice with comprehensible input along the way.
