χαίρετε, ὦ ἀκροαταί! This week we celebrate our milestone 100th episode of the podcast, in which we finally arrive at the beginning of Ancient Greek literature... Homer! It feels like the long road has all been preparatory work to get ready for this moment and we are now starting out for real. Thanks to everybody who has supported the podcast over the last few years, we have just been warming up and now the real fun is here!

καλῶς ὑμῖν γένοιτο!

Josep & Leandros


Here is the section discussed (Iliad, 1. 1-7):

μῆνιν ἄειδε θεὰ Πηληϊάδεω Ἀχιλῆος

οὐλομένην, ἣ μυρί᾽ Ἀχαιοῖς ἄλγε᾽ ἔθηκε,

πολλὰς δ᾽ ἰφθίμους ψυχὰς Ἄϊδι προΐαψεν

ἡρώων, αὐτοὺς δὲ ἑλώρια τεῦχε κύνεσσιν

οἰωνοῖσί τε πᾶσι, Διὸς δ᾽ ἐτελείετο βουλή,

ἐξ οὗ δὴ τὰ πρῶτα διαστήτην ἐρίσαντε

Ἀτρεΐδης τε ἄναξ ἀνδρῶν καὶ δῖος Ἀχιλλεύς.
