> Around 1,000 Greek words can’t be traced to any Indo-European language. Where do they come from?

I finally finished the counterpart to my first video, on Latin nouns. Needless to say, this will not be my final word on Ancient Greek declensions and its Indo-European context. Hopefully this is interesting and useful for people interested in Ancient Greek and/or historical linguistics.

Perseus and NoDictionaries.com are great for reading Latin and greek, but neither provides interlinear Greek support. So I built my own reader for #AncientGreek (Homer to Plutarch + NT + LXX, 755 works) — interlinear morphology (Morpheus, precomputed 349k forms), aligned public-domain English translations, LSJ glosses, and offline PWA. Built on PerseusDL/canonical-greekLit, First1KGreek, LSJLogeion and Morpheus. Try it: https://interlinear-greek.pages.dev open source at github. Feedback welcome.

Yes, but is it enough to save the Humanities? Reading translations is fine, but the real power is translating #Homer yourself!

The Odyssey film fans inspired to go back to the source

7/23/2026

"Sir Christopher Nolan's big-screen version of The Odyssey has become one of the box office hits of the year - and has also sparked interest in the original Greek myth, with book sales and audiobook listening figures rising sharply."

We have heard the Trinitarian Formula in English & Latin before, but we rarely heard the Greek version! Today, Mr. Seal will be teaching us some Koine Greek!

Disclaimer: Mr. Seal uses the Byzantine Greek pronunciation which is pretty close to the Modern Greek pronunciation, therefore, it may not sound like Attic Greek!

Excited to be at the @dariaheu #DARIAH2026 Annual Event, presenting The #AIncientTutor! 🏛️✨ Developed at the Historisches Seminar of @uzh with Felix Maier, our project reshapes how we learn ancient languages using #LLM support. 🤖📚 By integrating #RAG with NLP pipelines like #LatinCy and #OdyCy, the system dynamically guides learners through unedited primary sources without needing prior annotations.

📜🔍 The platform modularises translation into sequential tasks (identifying clause structures, predicates, & grammatical functions).

🧠💡 All linguistic data is consolidated into a structured, fully inspectable JSON format to encourage critical engagement rather than passive acceptance.

💻📊 Planned extensions include an automated vocabulary trainer for #Anki export, adaptive difficulty, and instructor analytics dashboards.

📈🚀 Stop by the poster session to chat with me or reach out at [email protected]! 🗣️🤝 #DigitalHumanities #AIinEducation #LatinNLP #AncientGreek #EdTech #AncientLanguages #Latin

Dear Ancient Greek experts, if I want to say "I hate group projects / group work" in Attic Greek, would I say it as...

μισέω ὁμάς πρᾶξεις ?

Or did I just say something extremely bad?

Please let me know! 🙏🙏🙏

English "cow" comes from Proto-Indo-European *gʷeh₃-u-s [gwous], perhaps something like this (listen):

New video interview

The Greek Alphabet Is Older Than We Thought

"evidence may point to a significantly earlier introduction of alphabetic writing into Greece, perhaps around or before the 11th century BCE."

Surely I'm not the first to notice a similarity between the Lojban's apostrophe (that makes the H sound) and the Ancient Greek rough breathing mark ◌̔ (that makes the same sound).

I've not found any direct evidence that the latter influenced the former (not that I did much research into it anyway) but I like to think there was some secret Ancient Greek admirer among the lojban creators

ตอนที่ชาวกรีกโบราณค้นพบสิ่งใหม่ ๆ เขาจะอุทานกันว่า Eureka! ว่าแต่... คำว่า Eureka หมายถึงอะไรกันแล้วทำไมถึงต้องใช้คำนี้ ?

คำว่า Eureka มาจากคำภาษากรีกโบราณ εὕρηκα (heúrēka) แปลว่า "ฉันได้ค้นพบ (แล้ว)" เป็นคำที่อาร์คิมิดิส์ (กรีกโบราณ: Ἀρχιμήδης) กล่าวเมื่อได้ค้นพบวิธีการวัดปริมาตรของวัตถุตอนที่ก้าวเท้าลงไปในอ่างน้ำแล้วสังเกตว่า น้ำในอ่างนั้นได้ล้นออกมา หรือที่เราเรียกกันทุกวันนี้ว่า Displacement

เป็นสาเหตุว่าทำไมในปัจจุบันเราจะใช้วลีนี้ตอนที่เราค้นพบสิ่งใหม่หรือ "ปิ๊งไอเดีย" ใหม่นั่นเอง !

Here's a tricky puzzle! This section of Greek text appeared in in the (Latin) Einsiedeln itinerary, Einsiedeln MS 326 (9th c.) amidst a bunch of Latin inscriptions and poems. It's Greek-ish, maybe Coptish, but we can't assume the scribe understood Greek as opposed to sort of drawing a picture of some Greek words. The word spacing seems off. Something about petra (either rock, or Peter, or both?) And what are the twisty Ys with a dot in the martini glass?
Something like maybe
"τον θεον λογον θενσε χρυσω
την θεοτα υπτον πετραν εν η
βεβηκωσ ουκλονυμ" ???

Hmmm, is it bad for me to try and understand the summary of, let's say, Book 1 of an EPIC POEM (The Odyssey), because I don't fully know the backstory behind the Ancient Greek gods?

Or should I read the Iliad first?

Damn

Oh, the word "#love"! So #misused, so #misunderstood! Perhaps because it has too many meanings. AFAIK it covers the concepts expressed by a dozen different words in #japanese. I bet it is the same for other languages. My daughter told me that the Italian noun " #amore" has somehow twelve different words in #ancientgreek: romantic, erotic, friendly, paternal, maternal and so on. Each a different word
