Transcript: 20260512-Ancient Greek Intensive Course - Part 19
A note about YouTube auto-transcripts:
Problems:
- people mumble or stutter a lot, causes errors in the youtube auto-transcript
- people end sentences with e.g. "right?" a lot (may be nice to remove for readability)
- youtube can't understand foreign-language words (e.g. Greek, Latin, etc), often resolves them incorrectly
- youtube doesn't mark WHO is speaking, so you can't follow who said what.
Heat.
Right. Fantastic. Sounds like good work. I just got here. But it all sounds good to me when I hear charity. I just got an email that I'm going to mention tomorrow night on Lady Babylon
Uh about a person laying down their government job. >> Wow. and going off to learn Greek at a university because um god damn it. Brian took all that heat. Brian took all that heat. And if he can take all that heat, some of them can do something. It's amazing. No pension or anything. I'll read the letter tomorrow night on the on the LB. Okay. >> My god. Look how far we have come. Look how far we have come. Tell me um Melina just to open give me two minutes a little of how
You're you know what's going through your your brain. >> Um nothing right now. I'm uh I'm getting over uh feeling a little bit of a panic attack. Um, I did some of these exercises in the review earlier and you know, I'm just chilling. >> I hate panic attacks. Oh god, don't say that. You're going to >> you're going to >> my bad. >> Bring one on. No. Uh, I understand why. It sounds like you're under a lot of >> uh pressure and you're almost finished. >> Yeah, it's good. But it's like a it's
Mixed feeling, you know. I don't know. It's like, all right, I just want to start over again and then see how far I've come and want to I don't know. >> It's watch all of these. >> Yeah. >> You'll get that every once in a while, but um don't follow the instinct to go back. >> Follow the inst follow the advice to go forward. Um because now is um next week is when you need to start embracing your new skill. You're a race car driver now.
You're certified, right? >> Oh yeah. >> Right now you need to get out there and you need to uh practice practice. Go do some driving. You know what I mean? That's the way. And then you'll look back on it and you'll say, "God, how much I've been able to assimilate." You know? So if you can do that quickly, which you obviously can, good for you. You save everybody some time. >> The day before um we started the course, I was practicing reading um just reading not to understand it,
But I was reading the apocalypse of John. >> Yeah. >> How was that? >> It was good. It started from the end and um
I was just practicing it and then the other day I flipped back through it. So I have a copy of the New Testament in Greek and uh and I was like a way more able to understand what's going on. It was cool. >> Way more able. Right. >> You you hear how you qualify that? Way more able. Exactly. Because you know, you've started your journey. You see the you're you're seeing the matrix, so to speak. You know what I mean? >> Mhm. Yeah. >> And that's exactly what you should be
Doing. Um
Yeah. I don't Yeah, I want to save that. I guess I'm trying to figure out if I should um how to advise you to go forward >> from this point, right? Because you need >> somebody has recommended to me that I bring back the reading class >> for people who have been through the course.
So, I have something percolating in my brain and as soon as I can figure out what uh whether or not I'm going to do it or how I'm going to do it, you know, cuz this is all experimental stuff. >> Yeah. >> Right. Nobody's been through the course in this short period of time. So, um Yeah. And I've got people asking me now to do it. And now I'm waffling on what kind of student to pick because God, I don't know if people are going to make
Be able to make it out so quick. Um, but hey, let's go forward as if in a optimistic way, positive way, as if they're able to. >> Yeah. >> Mhm. >> Yeah. I might as well give people the benefit of the doubt and just let them, you know, just let them do it. How do you uh are you tired? It's been four weeks. We're going to finish tomorrow. It >> um I'm not necessarily tired. I feel like I could keep going, but it's also like time timewise that I'm putting in. Yeah,
I'm tired. Like I could use some sleep for sure. Um, >> yeah, you gota you got to figure out how to yoke it to your pleasure. Now, >> you've got to once you're out of here, you've got to find those things that really get you off those texts like you're talking about Revelation, >> Apocalypse that you're reading right now. Good job. >> Right. Jumping right in. >> Swim in that stuff, >> you know, and see what make yourself an expert. There are so many, you know,
Your interest is the Bible. That's what you stated was your interest. And I think the best thing for you is to jump immediately into the pool that is all of that biblical literature. Now, it's but it's more than what people are thinking. You should be looking at every [\\h__\\h] apocryphal Greek work there is. >> Everyone. I was reading one from the first century,
>> Right? First century. It's probably late, probably like 80 to 120 or something like that. But um and it was talking about um the satanic bakic ritual and where the power is. So, I was like, "Dude, why have I never heard of any of these texts?" Right? If people had been reading this stuff, it makes sense. For example, I found a phrase um that I've seen repeatedly in the New Testament, and I'm like, "Oh, look, it's a contemporary use of the exact phrasiology, and it's all in Greek,
Baby. read uh read the uh oh god there's one from like uh 2 century BC to first AD. So it looks like it's using Greek that's somewhere in the range of first century BCish kind of >> first century it certainly Jesus is gonna be Jesus is going to be seeing it. How do I know? cuz he [\\h__\\h] quotes little stories like you find in the [\\h__\\h] Testament of the Patriarchs. It's in Greek, too. And there's no question that people say there must be a Hebrew predecessor. No. Again, once
Again, there's no Hebrew document behind this thing, >> right? I mean, think about, >> you need to jump into that literature. >> Yeah, >> there's a ton of it, right? The Testament. Look at the Testament of the 12 patriarchs. Just look it up, >> okay? >> And um you need to get TLG, too. We need to get you a access to TLG because you can get all of these texts on TLG, >> okay? >> And you could start reading them and they're very uh user friendly.
They're very user friendly. So, um, and it's quite revealing the stuff that's in them. It's amazing. >> Yeah. Yeah. Found a couple more references to the Look, you're just being a lace, right? When they're trafficking, it's Abraham's sons trafficking people. It's
Absolutely hilarious. >> It's absolutely hilarious. riot and their sister. What do you think happens to their sister? Their only sister. What happens? Oh god. She gets raped. Of course. Oh god. Right. And you don't have any [\\h__\\h] originals. You don't have any originals. No. No. No. There's there's Hebrew text behind this. But oh, look in the look in Let me tell you something. It's the biggest [\\h__\\h] of history. I'm sorry to go off on a tear, but the biggest [\\h__\\h] of history was that [\\h__\\h] Dead Sea Scrolls [\\h__\\h]
That stuff is fake as [\\h__\\h] It's fake as [\\h__\\h] And the scholarship on that that they did with the mushroom and the cross, that is the lousiest, crappiest he attempt to prop up Hebrew in the world. It's amazing. It's like a propaganda [\\h__\\h] All these apocryphal texts. All these apocryphal texts, think about it. The one I just told you, >> the testimony of the patriarchs, testimony of the patriarchs, it's so popular. Jesus is using it. Jesus is using it. And they say there must be a Hebrew original. Why? Why does there
Have to be a Hebrew original? There's They do this for a hundred [\\h__\\h] works. It has to be. Oh, that thing's in Hebrew originally. That's a translation. No, it's not, dog. Your Hebrew doesn't [\\h__\\h] exist.
It there's no evidence for its existence. >> The timeline is all screwy. If you uh have that biblical framework, you know. >> Yeah, it is. >> It's like, oh, it's from, you know, Moses 6,000 years. Like, yeah, sure.
I heard the ambassador to the United States that turd from Arkansas. I was it Mississippi or Arkansas? Yeah, I think it was Mississippi. My family's from Mississippi and Alabama, right? That turd. I think he's in Arkansas from Arkansas. Anyway, he stood up there and said on the in front of was Tucker Carlson. Did you see that? He said, "You've got uh Israel for the last
3,600 Years has owned by right of God a land that stretches stretches all the way from Iraq, he said, to Egypt. That's supposed to be theirs according to the biblical claim, right? That dumbass doesn't even realize there were no people of that description anywhere anywhere at that time 3600
Years ago. How can that possibly? All it does is justify a claim. >> Justifies a claim. So what it offsets is all of the archaeology. Be I'm telling you, I worked there a season. They will say something belongs to Solomon because it's in the Bible. This is the complex of Solomon. Okay. What's the evidence? There isn't any. It's just in the right place. Wait, what the [\\h__\\h] are you talking about? It would be like if a classicist went out and declared they find found Troy when they had no archaeological
Evidence for it. >> So, it it is skewed. The propaganda has skewed >> um our understanding of history completely. completely. Oh my god. >> Xenophone wrote about how and in like what 400 BC there was there were no Persians in Persia.
>> Mhm. I read that. >> I have to find that. >> Yeah. It's a complete It's a complete uh not job. There's no there's no um need for it except for something that's wrong. I mean it what am I trying to say? You don't see ancient authors
Describing things as propaganda a lot. It doesn't happen, right? It just doesn't happen. But you do in this case, >> right? the the whole text itself becomes propaganda and it pisses them off. For example, people one of the biggest things people don't realize is that the early Christians they say, "Oh, they fed them to the lions." They did. They did. They went to Alexandria and they they they arrested all the [\\h__\\h] that were raping children, right? They arrested [\\h__\\h] who were having sex with their own children.
Incest, right? When you have to go police incest, [\\h__\\h] is wrong, right? Those people get fed to lions, right? People don't realize that it was not because they were Christians. All that all that [\\h__\\h] about being led to the lions because you're that is not that is not illegal. You can say whatever the [\\h__\\h] you want. When you are raping children, that's where you've crossed the line. There is no plenty. There's that wonderful thing from Plenty about what do we do with these Christians? Oh, are they harmful?
Are they hurt? What the [\\h__\\h] If they're not hurt anything, just give them a warning. Tell them to be loyal to the emperor and shut the [\\h__\\h] up. Cool. Everything's fine. That's not what we're talking about. The earliest Christians were persecuted because of what they were doing within the Christian mystery.
That's what they were being prosecuted for. >> They were just now we have we have texts that say they were actively blowing the main pre the they didn't call him a priest. The leader the overseer was blown.
You gave him a [\\h__\\h] My god, what a And seriously, and nobody reads bothers bothers to read this stuff. But now you've had enough Greek. You've had enough Greek in just four weeks that you can start engaging with these texts. I suggest you go to TLG and you look up you look up every only the most vulgar um ideas out of the and narrow your search to just your apocrypha and just pull out all of that stuff. You wouldn't believe how much stuff I'm I'm finding
On Satan. >> Yeah. >> You wouldn't believe it. It's it's just it's amazing the depth. Oh god. So you'll join the we have to figure out how to keep you going forward and making that forward mot forward progress so you can >> be awesome. >> You needed to further develop it. Yeah. You what do you think about what do you think about such things? >> Uh that would be great. I mean um anything would be helpful really.
And I have the library, too. You know, we have the STO library and and we're always working on stuff, too. So, >> that's fantastic. >> If you want to kick us short, it says we'll fill up the library. >> Oh, great, great, great, great. Everybody should be working then to dig. Now, what are we going to do? Oh, god. um when the summer comes because we have an album coming out, >> right? Oh my. No, you know, uh, well, I've got to talk about it later on Babylon as soon as I get permission to,
But I am going to the East Coast for the opening of um, a metal album that is written uh about Lady Babylon. Oh, God. >> Nice. You guys are gonna [\\h__\\h] yourselves. Can anybody get to the east coast? >> I can. >> Can you? Good. >> Yeah, I'm in Ohio. So, >> all of the voices in your head, we should all meet in the even those I wonder if any of those Australians can I don't know. >> I don't know if they can get here. >> I won't be able to.
>> California unless I find somebody that that I can ride with, you know. >> Yeah. Ride with David. >> Ride. Ride. Yeah, >> we're thinking about live streaming it, too. I don't know if we >> That would be nice. >> We're thinking about live streaming. I don't know if it will how that'll coordinate with their like producers and stuff like that, >> right? They may say, "No, you can't do that." But let's ask, dude. I mean, we can't um the >> What What's the date for that?
>> Yeah. >> What's that? >> What's the date for that? Oh, it's this summer in June. It starts in June. >> And >> I've already I've uh I've have access to the album already. It's already cut in vinyl. They did a nice vinyl press thing for it. >> Is is it with Kirk Hammet of Metallica? >> No, it's not. No, absolutely. No, it's absolutely not. Right. Absolutely not. This is a metal group from the east coast that um
Uh what is the style again? Post metal. It's post metal. So no um as soon as I can tell you their name, I will. I promise. But um it turns out the the music that is inspired by Lady Babylon,
The muse, right? that music is out there and people are wanting to produce it. So, uh, no. Um, guess guess away all you can. You cannot guess my mystery man. I'll tell you it's a male. All right, let's go. Let's go to the text. Right back to it, Meline. All righty.
Unit 19. Oh, thanks for pulling that up. Um, before we get Let's just I don't want to blow the old brain cells. Right. Um, I want you to start today. We're going to do it backwards and I want you to start with unit 19 >> and then we're going to do exercise just to warm up. And I want to talk first the vocab. This vocabulary at the end of the intensive course gets a short shrift because it starts getting really kind of uh oh the further on you go in the text
The less um common it is. So okay fantastic but it's still there. Look um ice kunomi is there to feel shame for. You know you've seen the ice cross haven't you? the that feeling of shame that that dirtiness. Oh god, it's dirty, right? Um, notice the road drops out. Sataras is the original from [\\h__\\h] mian Greek for Satan. I am ashamed. I
Feel ashamed before they tell you. Good. Keep going. Give me the next one. We'll rotate today here. I'll >> Okay, >> I'll I'll do one and then you do one. Go ahead and do a me. You read all the principles. >> Apolog

Prefixes to all of these verbs. Your standard eras, >> right? You can add just an honor to it. So, okay, no problem. It's still ask. I want you to translate ask. Go ahead. You do the next one. The next one is one of my favorite verbs.

And we're going to look at this. There's different rules for it. We'll just take a nice walk in the park through it. Um, very common conjunction. How about that verb?
My higg he uh he saying lead the way be commander rule believe. Yeah. Notice it takes a genative rule over something. >> Yeah. We get hegemony and all that. Isos ean meaning equal you know like an isosles triangle >> I suppose is the best one. Then we get a little adverb with this one. Isos. Notice when you take an adjective and create an adverb out of it, you get that omega sigma.
Equally, go from equally to equally >> equally, >> right? Nice. Next to it, perhaps. >> Yeah, >> perhaps. Keep that in mind. Is your translating? Keep that in mind. You go back and forth. Yeah. How about that next one? What is something that's kind of We've done that one. Kinos is new. >> Kyos. Yeah. >> Oh, no. We haven't. We have it kind of kind of >> Okay. New strange. >> Yes. If you could take that word and you could put it into a vocalizer to shoot

Okay, that which brings you profit, right? Gains or profit. Number two, desire of gain. That's no problem. Number three, iron. Oh my god, it's ironic, isn't it? Cunning arts in the plural or wilds. Cunning arts. Canados is what can get you in trouble if you are too interested in making profit over feeding yourself. Like if you get up in the morning and you're not trying
To exist, you're trying to have excessive profit. Um that's a disease and it's bad. Isn't it funny? I mean, how modern does that sound? I mean that I thought you said these people were farmers, right? And most of them are out there, right? They you know they are. But listen to how the language has created. Oh, I gave away that. Fantastic. Listen to how the language has created this capacity,
Right? And there's all sorts of nuance. Okay. Sorry. Go ahead and do the next verbs. Uh
To separate decide or judge. >> Yeah.
Okay. To answer. >> Yeah. So, look at you're going to take that, right? To judge, kind of figure something out, separate things, you know? In other words, you're separating things into good piles and [\\h__\\h] piles, right? That's the cleo. What is it when you add oppo to it?

You're answering. >> Okay. Well, ultimately gets into their mind is answering. But I want you to pay attention to how these verbs are being formed cuz it's not always exactly what you'd think. They'll take a tangent. You'll be like, "Oh, that's cuz they're all around goats all the time or something." You know what I mean? Okay.
Ces is now your judge. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Yeah. You get that? Okay. Good. What is lupe? >> Lupes. Lupe. Pain. Grief. >> Good. Nice adverb. Mala very conjunction meri as long as or until we're going to see how that's used with o same thing >> no >> what is it nos >> no sauce uh sickness

Musos. Right. And that thing's from Sirene. That little Berlin thingy that they record there. Sirene, which is North Africa, right? Love it. You can see some of the history of their word right there. Anybody see any Hebrew? No, I don't see any Hebrew. You're never going to. Sickness, disease, plague.
Focus on plague. >> Right. >> Yeah. because that's how it's going. Like when you see this, you want to translate as just disease, right? That's that's the knee knee-jerk reaction. But in in the apocalypse, for example, you're going to be seeing the production of plague, >> right? So, there's this whole history >> there's this whole history behind this thing. I'm sorry I interrupted. Go ahead. >> Oh, I said production of madness. >> Oh, you look at you're already at the end. Good. disease. You jump to the dessert like that, right? Just get me
There. >> My bad. I >> That's beautiful though. What do you think of that? >> Caused by madness.
>> Well, if you have a disease, then you'd be in anguish. Yeah. >> Yes. Like a vampire. Look at that. >> The disease of the >> Yeah. The disease of your brain, which is that we looked that word up, right? That was the >> what was that again? >> Diaphragm. It's that area where you have the thought thinking. >> Yeah. >> It's I think the closest that we have is like gut feeling or something like that. But it's where you're centered. It's where your thought comes from. And if you mess that thing up, you get madness.
And there's mania. Look at that. Look what it's in the environment of. This word is found in the environment of mania. And what is lous? That's the Lissa is the madness that you get when you are a dog
And you start foaming at the mouth, you know, and you tear people apart around you. That's Lissa. >> So, um, they were very very familiar with that disease. And if you could get that foam from a dog, it's apparently a a curative. Um, but notice they put love there. Wait a minute. They've got mania, frenzy, and love all in the same. What is love? Here's your definition of love. You didn't know you were going to get >> nice.
>> Yeah. It's the disease of Aphrodite. It's the plague of Aphrodite.
And what's funny is um they're going to quote there Uripides Apolitus, right? Which is the same work that talks about Christ sex Christing to seduce a young man for a stepwoman. You know, we're talking about like a 35year-old woman with an ugly 80year-old husband.
You know, he's been out with the nymphs spreading his seed, right? And oh god, his stepwife is only 35, so she needs some sex drugs to drug this kid and do her thing. You know what I mean? >> Jeez.
>> Can you That's caused by the disease of Aphrodite. >> Love it. Love it. Look at number three. Bane. Just just bane. Like I'm serious. Like it's now it's not even like medically a disease, right? It still is in the Greek mind. >> Yeah. >> But just that mischief, just that bane is a form of disease. And you think I'm joking, but when they when they describe love in um antiquity,
They will do so as if it is a pathological state. So a person who is suffering from it can be in exhibiting specific symptoms, right, that are both mental and physical for them. >> Yeah. >> So they would describe it. What do these symptoms cause? And you know, how is it dangerous? Does it become dangerous? At what point do you go out and get a sex drug for your drive? I mean, look at his mother's going nut. Not his mother, his stepmother's going nuts, right? What
What can she do? She can get a sex drug and give it to him so that she can be fulfilled and stop suffering. Right. She needs that which is gonna break her fever. Right. I mean, that's how they talk about it, >> right? Oh god,
>> You wouldn't think that's all there, but it is. >> Yeah, it is. It's everywhere. >> Yeah. It's like it's a part of nature or something. You know what I mean? Look, sex is a part of nature and you can either do it right and go through the rights um and be educated or you can end up flubbing your life and you know just
Just jumping in, right? None of us have the education. >> Do the race or flub your life.
>> There you go. There you go. O I know we're going to learn that new verb. But look at this. >> When you when you add soon to it, right? That's your with what are you what are you doing when you know with someone >> knowing? Oh, be aware. Nice. >> Yeah. Soona soona. That's not Look, we can't start. Stop there. Do you think this word means anything else? I hope they right. I'm anticipating. Oh god.
Seriously, people to look at this. To know something about a person, especially as a potential witness
Has to work. How do we get into legal [\\h__\\h] with this, right? Oh god. To know something about a thing. Look at number two. To share the knowledge of something with somebody. to be implicated in it or privy to it. That's kind of a neat angle, right? It's seems to have a lot of support. Look, good old Plato himself is supporting it that using it that way. That's nice. But it goes Heroditus, right? All the way down to the Acts of the Epistles. I wonder if the dumb [\\h__\\h] biblical
Scholars would like to argue that the Bible is written in a vacuum because their authors are using it the same way that Uripides is using it. Just like they're using the Christ, the same way.
Oh God, I want to know. Well, this is fantastic. Okay. Oh, back to the Get out of here little screen. I'm gonna have to do this. >> There's more on the next page, I think. >> Is there more? >> Yeah. >> Fantastic. Um,
Where did my book go? There it is. >> Yes. Go ahead. Words. >> Oligos. Oliggon. Little or few. >> What do we get in English? Oligos. >> What? >> Yeah. >> Okay. Sugars with a few something. I don't know what is but okay. P >> before until
>> Um proteros proer proon former superior proteron the adverb is before or earlier.
And is the last and kronos chron. >> Yeah. What's as as we're saying it Kronos, which is how I was how I was taught it, but it's Kronos. >> How how are we defining this thing?
>> Um,
And in case you in case you're wondering, you're supposed to confer with Almond. Godamn it. >> Yeah, tell me. I was gonna say Kyros. Sorry.
>> Um, >> nice. Here's that morio, right? That morios. So that what kind of what are we talking about? We talking about quantities with time, right? We can be look at B time in the abstract. Aronos,
Right? that which doesn't have any limits, right? It's just the unlimited concept. It's conceptual, a definite time period. You can Oh, God. You can talk about all sorts of different types of periods, triads, and diads, decades, and ads.
Notice, see, it's a year.
Tommy, smarty. Tommy is a smarty. Look what he did. He made it the equatorial degree. Now, and notice these are uh >> I don't know about Paul, but I know this is an astrological codeex. >> So, okay, we got a bunch of astrologers making it an equatorial degree. I don't know. I mean, I know I can look on a globe and see what the equatorial degrees are, but I'm not quite sure how why those represent time. What does that mean? I don't even get that. Do you get
That? >> Okay. Um, no. >> Yeah. >> I I think we're missing something. >> Yeah. >> Right. It's chronic. >> There's 12 houses. I know that. Once you get into the science, there's 12 houses and you're moving through all of those through time and it Oh god, it's so devilish. >> All the degrees and all that. It's crazy. >> Yeah. Yeah. And >> aggressions. >> Yes. Yes. Right. Oh god. And it in Greek it uses terms and I'm like what? That's not what this means. Those [\\h__\\h]
Astrologers are Oh, they're going to town with the Greek. They're going to town with they're really stretch. They're g they give her the capacity to stretch her legs. That's what they do just to really sprint. >> So you can see interval keeps coming up. >> Interval. It's a good one. >> Yeah. Yeah. Look at s or ace. That's a ace. Shorten form of ace. >> Sronon into time means from this point forward.
>> H. >> Yeah. Okay. Okay. You're going to find this stuff. You're going to be out there and you're going to be like hoopronu. It's like what is that under or by the time >> by the lapse of time? Okay. So, you're talking about a lapse. Get um letting the time flow. And look, you're context will help you out a lot, but it's not going to help you do things like this because you didn't know when the book said Kronos is time, you didn't know it
Actually means an age. Yeah, >> when we talk about the paleio, we're talking about those ancients. We're talking about an age. So that time is really okay season or portion of the year. Seriously, let's just stick with the grammar. Look at the grammar. This is your word for the tense of a verb. How do you like that? >> Well, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, love it. And way down at the bottom, music. So, you're the They always come back to music somehow in all of these.
>> Love it. >> That's cool. >> It's all being divided up. Your time is being divided up into the rhythm. Oh god, >> they were really What do you think about that? That's a little bit bigger view of Kronos.
>> Did you like that? >> Yeah, I did. >> If we had 10 weeks, we would sit here for >> hours and go over these words, but we don't. And I'm going to show you really quick, though. I want you to use this site from now on, >> okay? >> When you get a chance. So, >> yeah, I have that one saved. on my phone. >> You guys probably have been all the way through this kind of stuff before, but >> there he is with his 12, Mr. Ion.
>> Yeah. Yeah. You like that?
>> Who is the serpentine? >> He and his consort, the serpentine goddess.
Oh, get me off his page and take me to hers. Right. >> Yes. Yeah. I want to see more of that. >> Right here she is. They don't they don't do a if I remember properly, they don't do much with her, which was really making me mad cuz she's huge in the orphice side. She's all part of it. There she is with her wings. You knew that Aeros had wings, right? The devil. Aos has wings. >> Well, there there she's with she's one of those golden winged
Um generation. It's an old generation. So I of course she is the lover of Ion right. Oh god they both they're both winged and it's golden. Ah
Look splitting the constituent parts of Gaia and Uranos. >> Ah love it. >> It's
It's so all there. I I'm telling you something. I was reading let me just share this with you. And then I want to take a short break and we'll get back to it. We'll get there. But I was just read, you're not going to get this experience elsewhere. I was just reading this morning. Wasn't last night. It was this morning. I woke up. I started my morning workout cuz I always as I'm my body is becoming active. I activate my mind too. So I read some Greek, right?
Just to get me up and going. And this morning, I'm embarrassed to admit it, but I found yet another [\\h__\\h] author that I haven't seen in 35 plus [\\h__\\h] years. And anyway, he's writing about
Basically phenomenon uh um in history, phenoms in history is what it is. And he um talks about media. And he says, "Look, here's the thing. I'm going to have it on tomorrow. But he says, "Here's what um media was doing." They talk about her this way in the myth, right? And this is what she's actually doing. He talks about her fumigating, influencing people's minds, right? Getting them to >> He says it's a medical thing, right? She's just advanced in the medicine. The reason it's all a secret, the mystery is a secret is because it's a physician's
Secret. Right. She doesn't want other people doing this [\\h__\\h] It's hers within her right. Right. Oh god. I was like, "Oh, this stuff is yummy." >> Right. Um uh those sources are out there and you can you're going to pick up little nuances of those sources from these
Um basic lexical searches. when you look at Kronos and you're sitting there trying to figure them out, >> try to look at some of the contact points that you've got, right? Um like, oh look, Kronos is also mentioned with um a nank or something, right? Look up an >> and be able to follow those leads so that you get an conception of what is in the Greek speakaking mind. >> Yeah. when they're writing all this stuff because this is the stuff that's in the air and that they're pulling out.
The same author is telling us, again, this is not one of the sources that I used, but it's another Greek who's telling us, look, dragons are not [\\h__\\h] dragons, you morons, right? They're temple guardians. They they're adjuncts to the temples. They do specific things, right? It's it's another one of those people who's trying to explain and talk about the you know who started these rights and where were they what was who was Heracles really right where did he rule and where did he come from where his descendants right
Um uh chimera
He says he you know what the [\\h__\\h] is wrong with people you got to make a monster. Ah, right. He says they call her Chimera because she was a pirate. She was a [\\h__\\h] trafficker and she had two men that were leading her group that worked with her that facilitated everything, right? And then he describes
The men and this is why they call her the hybrid, that lion and that uh um dragon, right? What is this is the people who are with her? What's going on? Is there a serpent involved? Yes. Right. It's amazing for people to be able to see what is, you know, um what you don't understand about the text. It's going in the text, but we can pick it up >> from these words. Okay. Get off my tear. And we need to read and do some exercises. And I want to start off.
Let's start off with that. Aristophanes. Please teach me Aristophanes in 10 minutes. >> Okay.
All right, let's keep going. Forging forward. I'm going to screen share and let's we learn. Oh, did I already screen share? Um, boom. Oh, okay. Um, let's go back to the beginning of the chapter and I want you to
Be looking at some adverbs. And I just want you to notice um you there Maline? >> Yeah. >> I just want you to notice how e much easier this is, right? Because those are not going to change, right? They're not going to be as so drastically ridiculous. Here's your positive degree deyos, right? Oh, it's justly. Do something justly. It looks like the word just, doesn't it? It's got the root in there.
More justly. >> More justly. >> Yeah. >> You like that? >> Yeah. Notice that it's the neuter accusative singular. Okay. That's the form you use. Have you noticed that they treat neuters a little bit different? >> Yeah.
So neuters can very differently express the action of a verb. They can create an adverb. Soon
More just leaves in the superlative
The most. >> Yeah, most just. Oh, you say this one so fast. Do that one.
>> Yeah. Yeah. And because you're putting the omacron next to the omega, you're >> you're wanting to distinguish. I hear it. You're wanting to get that >> soft.
Okay. >> Exactly. There you go. Safoton. >> Softron. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. I drift back and forth in my between my omocron and my omega. I shouldn't do it, but I do. I'm truly alle
>> Rather truly >> rather truly. And when you see that you're you're seeing the root primarily. >> Yeah. I think we had a there was a graduate student in classics that I had a complete and total crush on and she was um Alita.
She was based on this true root in her name. I loved it. Hey Deos. Nothing ever happened, right? I just walked around with a crush on her. Hey Deos. >> Hos.
Exactly. Yeah. More more pleasantly most pleasantly. Okay. So, comparative, right? Let's do the Greek. Read this Greek line down here. And they're going to be genative of comparison. Notice in notice uh is what's being emphasized. Go ahead. >> Okay.
Soon you do. Um,
>> Good. Good.
When you're slipping like that with pronunciation, just stare at the accent and read it that way. Um, >> that's my go-to. >> Yeah.
>> All right, >> guys. Those Europeans will say you there. >> Yeah, >> they'll say you. And I curse them for their pronunciation. Oh, God. >> Who knows if it's right or not? No, genative you were talking about your genative comparison. So translate that for me. >> Okay. Um
Aristophanes used to advise the citizens more wisely than Uripides. >> Yeah. Now than Uripides is your genative of comparison. >> The Yeah. The I see. >> Yeah. In the genative. Mhm. >> Yeah. Good. Genative is always has something to do with groups. You're taking one group out of another. Basically, when you make a genative of comparison, read this one again. >> Which one? >> Oh, at the top of page 34. Uh 554. >> Sorry, I was writing something down. >> 544.
Uh the people made peace as justly as possible. >> Good.
It's justly horse. Does it sound like >> hos as much as something right? Horse. You got to remember that somehow pound that [\\h__\\h] into your brain. >> The horse plus that adverb is going to give it to you in the as much as possible. I hate to, you know, I hate to >> Yeah. >> There's no way. I mean, how are you going to remember this, right? You just >> There's a lot of ho is >> Uhhuh.
>> Um, >> adverbs love it, don't they? >> Yeah. Yep.
Will be easily recognized in reading. Oh god, don't please stop. Okay. Some irregular comparison of adjectives. So now we're just we're going back to adjectives from adverbs. But on on this page uh 544 at the bottom, just look at the chart. We've got your positive agathos, your comparative amon,
And your superlative aisto. And those don't look like each other. >> Yeah. Yeah. Irregular. Yeah. >> Right. Okay. But guess what? Now watch this. I'm going to show you some magic of Mother Greek. >> Okay. >> You [\\h__\\h] don't deserve this, right? None of us do. Look how gorgeous she is. Now, Agathos is good. There's your adjective. Good. But you have other comparatives.
You have belon that is associated with agathos. That's better and beltistos the best. You mean you can say something is amon better and belon better. Yes. And you better know which is which because the belion is talking about what we define here. I mean it's the best we can do. morality morally morally speaking it's better
>> Right whereas a mayon is just better in its ability right >> okay >> that one works better that one works better it's aon right >> right but that girl is better you're going to use a form of belion right she is she is that form Um, wait a minute. Is there one more? Oh god.
You say that so it enters your memory too. >> Catistos. Yeah. >> Yeah. That's good in the sense of something that's stronger, right? >> Better and best. Notice it's still better and best, but when you got the cot route, you're really talking about strength. >> Yeah, >> you're talking about strength. Strength, moral superiority, and performance
Superiority. That's what you're talking about. And all of that comes in the kingdom of agathos.
Do you feel like you're talking to them now? >> Yeah. >> Why are they so concerned? Oh, god damn that thing on the top. Why are they so concerned
With that moral goodness? Aren't these the people that are lawless without Moses's commandments? And aren't these people sitting around? No. Right. These are the people who are who are writing the morality. Look at Agathos. Can you see Agathos? >> Yes. >> Oh, in Laconian. >> Look, we just found out where you're from.
>> I want you to look up Laconian. In Laconian, it's a sauce with a sigma >> sauce. Yeah. >> Our criate is going to use a sauce. Thank you. >> Yeah. Isn't that cool? >> I'm sorry I burned your stupid breads because I couldn't tell. >> Oh,
>> Your mic is hot. Oh my goodness. I'm so sorry. >> Yeah. Put that in your Put that in your short cruise. Oh god. Love it. Um, no, that was a good short today. Uh, don't worry about the fact that it was dwelling upon a mistake and being corrected because it it wasn't my incapacity that was being featured. It was the fact that >> Melena was able to use it and to correct me. That is what is that, you know, that's priceless. People are gonna make
Mistakes, you know. It doesn't matter how long you've been out there. >> I was saying that it's a sign of how good a teacher you are, you know. >> You think so? Totally agree. >> Absolutely. >> Definitely. >> I appreciate that, guys. That means a lot to me. That means a lot to me. And uh thank you for the, you know, the fact that it's even out there that we were all given the opportunity to do this. I was just sitting there. I was just sitting there um this morning
Playing the music from this group that I can't tell you who they are. Post metal. Oh god, it's gorgeous. And listening to it and thinking how godamn fortunate am I? This band was influenced by Lady
Babylon. binged watched it and wrote songs and created this beautiful album and uh it's just absolutely gorgeous. I can't wait to um I can't wait till this summer, dude. I mean, we have to people. What do we we have to all meet out there or something? It has to be some >> Yeah, you have to tell us where and when we'll be there. >> And I'm just waiting, Maline, until they give me the Okay. the publicist they have tells them, "Yeah, now you can do it." And >> cool.
>> And I'll start mentioning their name. You won't be able to get access to the album yet, but um it's coming. It's due to be released shortly. All right. Oh, well. Anyway, back to Agathos. Let's keep our eyes on the prize here.
Good gracious. It's gorgeous. Share. Okay. Here's that agathos. That well-born. What is this? I hate this. Okay. Well, or gentle. Did you think the good Malina when I told you Agathos means good? Did you think wellborn?
No. >> No. >> No. I don't think wellorn either when I hear the word good. What about gentle? >> Maybe. Yeah. >> Yeah. Maybe you can feel a little bit of that in there. Okay. >> Viant. Yeah. Brave. >> Yeah. Now, wait a minute before you get all excited. It's going to take a turn. >> Yeah. >> In political sense, it's the aristocrats, right? The artisttoy.
>> Those are the people who are best in your society. >> Oh, yeah. Well, born. Uh oh [\\h__\\h] I thought it was going to What? What is going on? Right. >> Okay. How about number two? Brave, valiant. Those are different words and different concepts in English. >> Yeah. >> Right. But courage is attributed to chiefs and nobles. And it looks awfully feminine lacking there. It's not.
>> Right. It's not at all. We're talking about feminine. Uh we're talking about uh women rulers, too. >> Yeah. >> Right. Um you and I call them queens. They call them the wanni. Anyway, um good capable in reference to your ability. See how the comparatives are kind of coming out here. You're going to see all sides of the diamond. >> Number four, good in a moral sense. And look who whenever you see that. Look where are they getting? Heracitis. Oh [\\h__\\h] If it's if it's with Heracitis,
It's going to be permeating all the intellectual stuff that's going on. >> Theogonist Democrus. Okay, fine. Fine, fine, fine. Look at the number six. The diamond. The good diamond. >> I can't see it. >> Oh, you can't see number six. >> Oh, yeah. I can see it. Never mind. I was looking at the other >> the Oh, down below. The good diamond. >> Yeah. Notice they put 2K up there. >> Oh yeah. >> Good.
And who is the good God right here? Who is the good God? You think that's a dude, don't you? You must, right? God is good. [\\h__\\h] that. No, it's a female Bonadea. And this is uh they have a festival to Bonadea where they get together in Rome
And all of the ladies bring their wands and we hear on the outside of the temple we hear a bunch of Let me tell you what we hear. It's the noises of groaning. It's groaning
Together as a group. It's like a giant.
Look, we've been trying to get in. We sent a couple dudes in there. They always catch them and kill them.
So, um, that's Bonadea. It's got an edge. She had her worship has an edge. It's openly sexual. Woman with woman sexual in a group. So, group lesbian practices, but they're not really lesbian. >> Yeah. >> Right. It's almost like um think of community health.
>> Uh yeah, right. It Okay. Anyway, um that's the good God, right? Right. Um they they're the ones that named her. The ladies are the ones that named her. So don't look at me, right? They won't even let us in. Look what happens when you turn it just into its own little substantive. The good, the blessing, or the benefit.
The good, the blessing, or the benefit. It's a it's it okay. It's not as simple as as we may think in one one little word. How about the next one? Caucos. Kacos. >> Go through those. Give me the comparative and superlative of these.
>> Yeah. Good. >> Yeah. >> Worst. Worst. Weaker. weaker. Then we got these moral, you know, more bad with respect to morality. >> But look, they got it in both Kakon and Hon. >> So what's the what's the possibility
That you have when you come across these two in the future? You know you're going to translate them both as worse, right? the and the first 50 times you translate, you just do it generally as worse. And then on the 51st time, you'll notice that there's a slight difference contextually and you'll be like, "Oh, I see. This one has more to do with whether or not the person can actually be able to do it. They're worse in that sense." >> Yeah. >> You'll be like, "Oh, I get it. That's
Why it's hate on." Okay, cool. Cool. That's no that's no um skin off anybody's back. Megas made zone and meistos great greater and greatest. Maggistos looks like greatest, right? You noticing that easttos they're all elistos the fewest.
>> Yeah. >> Pltos the most ris the easiesttos
The swiftest. M >> yeah easttos easttos easttos we're in the >> in the area of the superlative the comparatives you can't really do it doesn't doesn't like flow as nicely because >> look at elaton for something that has fewer of something or less is less than something elaton
>> It's ending you know there are verbs that are just [\\h__\\h] participles that have that ending Right. There's there's alpha um uh stems that are going to go ahead and have a an deepened omega when every goddamn subjunctive is going to have that deeper vowel. So they don't really have their own nice pattern that just works out musically. But keep your eye on those estos. >> Okay, >> that's good. >> Ryion, look at rios means easy.
Yeah, >> what a word. >> Yeah, it's got a the basic meaning of the flow in it. Rios
Ra.
>> What is the rea? That's the lady. That's the lady who is the flow of the universe. Right. So, there's a slight where you're going to notice there's tugs between roots. >> Yeah. >> Right. That you're going to you're going to pick up and you're going to say, "Oh, there's there's similarities here." I just want you to notice it. I don't want you to write a paper about it or anything. Right. Just notice that it's there. And you're going to see this over time. Let's do the the difficult verb
Oida to know, right? it just like am to go or a me to be oida is a very common verb that's just going to have these forms oid I know o you know you know oid
He knows right look at the plurals what happens to them vowels change east >> we're dropping that first omacron All right. Okay. You just have to memorize this one. Oya Eastmanista is right. And then if you're in the intensive program for 10 weeks at a university, they come in and they make every day you got to take a [\\h__\\h] quiz at the beginning of class. I used to hate it. Right? Why? Why, dude? What? And it's all vocabulary in these forms. And you got to write out these forms.
You don't know them. Go sit in the [\\h__\\h] hallway and learn them. That's what you have to do, right? So, Yeah, we we got to figure out some way to drill that into the four-week course. Oh, learn these forms, right? Oida.
>> Okay, I know. Here's its subjunctive a right plus it's perfect optative active. Seriously, a look at the ending. Check that out. A and EA E to Ian. Right. That's not that's not a jump. Here's it's blue perfect. Just realize you're going to get a blue perfect. >> Okay, >> no problem. Here's the imperative. >> No. >> Hey, you figure it the [\\h__\\h] out.
>> If there's If I'm addressing you, I sayisty. If I'm addressing your voices, I say east, right? Know something, right? Let that turd know it. Eastto, let them all know it. Eaststone. Love it. You mostly just see this in the second person singular. East, right? And it's usually before somebody starts threatening somebody else.
>> Yeah, sounds like that. Yeah. Who gave these guys all of that satirion? Now they're walking around with erections and nothing to do, right? They're going to kill each other eventually after about 12 hours of constant satariasis.
>> You're talking about the mental states that these people are going. This is one thing I want to show the world. um that maybe the tours right that will be happening. Think about it for a minute and just think about the seder. And what is a seder? Do we have one? No. A seder is a dude who has been 14 hours into a constant erection and now it's affecting him mentally,
Right? and he's having a uh entering an ecstatic place that you can do with the male human body if you have the right chemicals. >> Yes. So you can induce this state. these mental states are um uh all part of the religion and that's what that author was saying uh this morning was that it's not media is using you got she said you got to realize it's using fumigations within medicine and this is a Greek right explaining it to his own people right love it oh god it's absolutely
Gorgeous >> yeah do you like that stuff. >> Yeah. >> Oh, it's the inspiring. >> Mhm. >> Um, here's your perfect participle, right? [\\h__\\h] [\\h__\\h]
>> Nice. >> Yes. And look, they go into their genatives like those third declansion. [\\h__\\h] ads, right? Mhm. >> Okay, we're going to get to temporal clauses. Now, I want to do a little more tempor I I think the easiest way to learn these is just to say, um, show me, right? >> Yeah. But I want you to see that hos is going to have tacked on to it um that while as well as the as long as okay it's it's in they'll show you the nuances but we can also come to the place that has to switch from as long as
To until. How do we know what's the difference? Right. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Look at the past indicative. Let's just let's just look at it in the Greek.
I was engaging in combat or >> Mhm.
>> Until I won. >> Do you see how that works? And yeah, until the point that I
>> Was fighting until I won both of them use them both that way. >> Okay, now >> look at it.
>> I was fighting. We'll just figure out how to use it.
Yeah, I was fighting as long as during the same period as Andy Con. I was winning.
>> The aist until I won. >> Mhm. >> The imperfect
As long as I was winning. >> Yeah. So you see you see how the chronos of the verb affects the prepositions or sorry the words me and excuse me. Notice any other word that is being altered by the verb. Notice that you thought here I thought you you're probably going to say nikon is being governed by me. No no no it's not. Mecc is functioning in this world that's trying to explain to you temporarily while one thing is going on something happened right and all they're doing is saying what happens when you change the kronos of the verb from the aist to the imperfect
>> Fantastic let's look at using a subjunctive mahumi meri on.
>> Yeah, I will engage in battle. Okay, we're going to figure out how to do it then with a subjunctive plus on. >> Yeah, >> subjunctive there, right? >> I will fight. Are you Are you gonna Are you gonna How are you going to choose here? Let's try it. Uh um Let's try as long as. Does it seem to work with as long as I will fight as long as we No, it doesn't work. Until. You just got to memorize it. When you when you're using
Meri or hos and you're in a subjunctive, switch it to until. It's like becomes uh it becomes like something that's going to change the direction of the narrative, right? Okay. Woo. Okay. Mahaya will fight meos
On ina minator on ina min.
>> What is the minator? What is it? >> Minator. Oh pure, right? It's a Is it a present? Is it a present or an ais subjunctive? I want you to go. >> You're not seeing it. Go to the back of the book. First one there wins. >> No. >> Okay. No. Yeah. Look it up. Look up minnow
And tell me >> remains a y. >> Yes, it does. But I want you to tell me if it's an aist or if it's an a present. Which one is it?
>> By looking at its entry in on page 784. >> Yeah, I think it's
I think it's present, right? >> Excellent. Present subjunctive. >> Yeah. >> Right. I will fight as long as you remain here.
Right. Do you see what happens when you mess with
>> When you're switching between your times, your tenses,
What happens to the verb all of a sudden? I shall fight until we win is very different from I shall fight as long as you do something. >> Yeah.
It's continuous action. >> It's it's aspect. We are looking at as the aspect of the verb assert itself. And that's what we expect in the subjunctive anyway, right? We expect that accent and not the time, right? We're not getting any time here. We're getting aspect.
Yeah. >> Whether it's continuous or in the bottom or whether it's a singular event. So that's how you can tell. Don't you love it? >> Yeah. >> Oh god.
Temporal clauses introduced by prin. Here's another one. Introduced by prin. The conjunction prin
Can introduce both an infinitive and a finite verb. You're going to see it with both. Do you see what we're doing? I'm not explaining to you what verbs are. I'm not explaining to you what adverbs do, right? I'm not explaining to you. All I'm doing is I'm adding >> I'm adding um things that you're going to see in the language. Yeah. You're going to use this word print sometimes. Pren plus the infinitive. >> Mhm. >> Okay. Let's see how it works with the infinitive. And introducing an infinitive means before the infinite.
Remember these are all temporals. The infinitive is the theme of this [\\h__\\h] day today. Kronos, I think it is instrument. >> Yeah. What's the deal with that? >> It's a little creepy. >> The astro weather. No,
>> It's Sian, baby. It's Saturnian. um ren in uh means before the infinitive may have an accusative subject. The main clause is usually not negated. Okay, so let's just see the the Greek. Read that Greek for me, please.
A deduction to spa a a pill.
Uh he taught the citizens before going away. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. So we're using our infinitive, right? >> Mhm. Yes. >> And look what look how we have to express it in English. We're actually going to have to turn it into a little participle here. Right. He's going to be going, >> right? Literally, it's just the infinitive with prin before to depart. >> Yeah. >> That's how that's >> that's how they're thinking. >> Yeah. Yeah.
>> He taught the citizens before to depart. Okay. Fine. before he went away. Good.
He will announce that's a future. Oh god. He will announce the victory to the city. And then we get our our chronic phrase kerasian.
Before the before the heralds come. Yeah. >> Yeah. Before the heralds to to come. Before the heralds come. Just recognize that to cost those heralds, they're now in the accusative case. >> Yeah. For good. So you can do it that way or you can just use print plus a finite verb,
Right? It governs the same constructions as mere and he >> past indicative or on and the subjunctive. Let's look at some examples just to see >> what the hell they're talking about. Read that one. The top one. >> Okay.
British out with the >> ladies.
Eggs. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Look. Notice when you notice when you went for the accent, you just said it naturally. Eggsson. Good. >> Yeah. Um, he did not educate the citizens until uh he wrote the book. Okay. >> Until he wrote the book. >> Until the time that he wrote the book. That's gorgeous. That's gorgeous, right? >> You can do that egropsson. Again, notice the aspect of your eggson. >> Yeah. >> Right. >> He wrote it's a single action. It's done. It's a point in time. It's done.
Right. What happens when you throw things, right? Use the on, right? And bring us to the subjunctive. He will not educate
The citizens until grace. Yeah.
He writes the book. It is stopping the time flow there. Right. that that um tenses aspect is stopping time and it's causing your little conjunction prin to turn into that until that stopping point. I love it. I love it. >> It also feels like an unless you know >> he will not educate the citizens. Yeah. Unless he writes the book. Here's the problem. Why is it not an unless? >> Well, because it's a prin. >> Yeah, it's chronic, >> right? Prin is chronic, not causal. >> Yeah,
>> You've got participles that can do that for you. You don't need you don't um you don't need to [\\h__\\h] with your your um chronic meters like >> prenon. >> Yeah. OS. >> Oh god, this next one I hate. I absolutely hate this attraction of the relative pronoun in the case of its antecedent. Cuz remember we said relative pronouns like this first example they give you. This is how you're supposed to use them. Hoisti the soldiers oy
They are worthy tonathlon of prizes.
Ha. Which the citizens give, right? Which the citizens give. Look at that nice present. Oh, you weren't expecting that form, right? Anyway, um, look at the ha. It is in its case and sorry, it's in its gender and number according to its antecedent. That's the alone.
>> Okay. So that's why it's its gender and number, but it's its case from what it's doing in its own clause, right? It's the thing that's being given which things, right? >> The citizens give.
So what happens with this thing called attraction? For some reason, this little relative will want to take on the case of what has come before it, what its antecedent is. We don't know why. It's just attracted. You can't explain it. You're just born that way. You know what I mean? That's the way it is. And this one does it. Look, it attracts to the case.
It should still be the accusative here. The horn, right? It's still the objects which the citizens give, which things the citizens give. It's supposed to be an accusative, but it's not. It's in a >> genative because it it's got too much of an affinity for ton Oon. >> So, it's going to turn itself into >> horn. Now, I don't know why you would want to do this
Because it breaks rules. This relative has to obey the rules of case. It just has to or it's not going to work in its construction. What was it that was so important about this form that it has to change? You're not going to be able to answer that. You may say, "Oh, well, it's because, look, they look alike." No, that's just coincidental, right? For this one, they don't always have to, right? Because of different decclenions, those generators don't have to have the same forms. They won't,
Right? Oh, God. So, what are you going to do? What are you going to do?
I mean, how are you going to what are you going to blame this on? It's an attraction that just causes this thing to look like a genative when it's it has nothing to do with genative. So, um it's a little bit uh Yeah. Yeah. >> That's annoying. >> It's annoying. It is definitely annoying cuz I guarantee you No, I guarantee you you're not going to remember this, right? It doesn't happen. It doesn't happen often enough for it to be something you regularly assume, right? So, you're going to see relatives that have been attracted into a different
Case and it's going to screw up your translation and you're going to curse at it. This is what graduate students in great curse about cuz they'll get embarrassed in front of a professor and they'll be like, "Oh, you why is it in this case?" And they'll be like, "Oh, I don't know. It shouldn't be." >> Right. >> Yeah. >> And then you'd be like, "Oh, [\\h__\\h] Look at the look at the example that I've got on my page." Oo he heps my Why is that oo become an oof? Because look it's
What's following it is rough breathing. >> Mhm. >> Love it. >> So run them together. We're trying to run those together.
I like that. >> Yeah. Lovely. I shall not I will not it's a future. I will not follow to he I'm not going to follow this this person who's leading >> right honipet whom you send now look there it's it's in the case that it's supposed to be here it's going to switch it's going to mean the same thing >> but you're going to try to you're going to try to translate this as to or for whom >> pimp Yeah, >> you that's what you're going to try to do cuz that's what you should do,
Right? But be ready for this. It's just like I don't know. It's like the army manual has turned into like, you know, hey, watch out for booby traps, right? This is like the Yeah.
Okay, let's go. Let's take our final break and I just want to see.
Oh god, look at this sentence here. I knew there were some goodies in here. Look at this. Um, the omission of the anticedent of the relative is frequent. Oh god, are you [\\h__\\h] me? Then how the hell do I know?
Hostess. There is someone who
T my honors tuton this guy right there is someone h who's the who the hell seriously right where's my it's just not there but don't worry you can still translate it because the Greek makes sense >> right you know you can translate estine as he she or it is Or what seems to be way more common. There is there is est. There is not
Some [\\h__\\h] person right who honors this guy.
Right there's your subject. Okay, let's keep going. And you're going to notice that we are at the end. We have come to the end. Wait, >> wait. I want to show you before you jump. And we forgot to do um Aristophan. So, we're doing him when we get back. But I want you to notice materialwise, you have broken through to page eight gazillion, and you're now doing the final unit. >> Yeah. And you have managed to pack two units into one class each time we've done it.
>> Right. We could finish the class right now materialwise. And before we before we go on break, let me ask you this. Knowing now that you are that close to being done with all the material, look at how quickly you assimilated it. You just did that relative thing.
How do you where is your mind at? just take give me a little you know >> um I still have a lot to retain I think it'll just take some time and reading to understand and if I don't understand I can definitely like look back and be like what does that what is this mean if I forgot but um I don't I don't know these it's nice to have all the charts starts in the back too to refer to and >> now you >> but to understand the concepts are and have them laid out in the way that you
Explain them is really helpful because when I was reading the the um oh where's it at? I mean even the first time you were explaining temporal clauses I was like what the [\\h__\\h] is that? You know I'm like how do I wrap my brain around this? But then it's like okay it unfolds and then I'm like okay it's just a cate cate categorizing
>> The different um you know uh structures and I can understand that. >> Yeah. Yeah. And now you've got a perspective on that appendix cuz now if when you start translating next week when you start translating and you're in a text and you're saying okay this is nice. I like it. I'm going to do a, you know, I'm going to do 20 sentences. I'm just going to do 20 sentences, >> right? Um, I want you to uh know that you've got that appendix there to look
Back quickly. You're like, "Oh, shit." You're going to forget Tith Amy and his st you're going to forget those forms, what they look like. Um, and when you do, you know they're in that appendix. You can you can brush through it really quick and >> yeah, >> boom. cuz yeah, your retention is not going to be there's no way under the pressure of 4 weeks. There's no way that your retention is going to be at 100%. You're going to things are going to leak. >> I think it's really good that I I really
Studied the first half like really hard and then the second half was like, okay, now they are layers, you know, to add. So that was good. and you know how to go back now um and say um I see how this is built the structure the very reason that you could correct me >> the very reason because now you know how the structure works oh okay yeah you're going to forget some of your [\\h__\\h] comparatives you know you're going to be like belion was that better was it good
Or was it >> you know and you're going to go back and look and you're going to check them but I want this to not be something that you do intentionally like, okay, now I'm going to go sit down and I'm going to go over the entire thing and just pound it into my brain. No, the best thing for you to do is engage a text directly >> and use your textbook to re go back and find things that you, you know, were like, wait a and you're going to notice
Certain things like, you know, complex structures. You're not going to worry about that, right? You will come across a conditional sentence here and there and every once and you'll be like, "Wait a minute, what was the what was the type again?" And you're naturally going to try to figure out which one it is and boom. And that'll get quicker and quicker and quicker and quicker until it's just an automatic thing that you're doing. Once you see a hundred of those conditional clauses, you're going to start feeling your way through them.
It's not going to be it's not going to be um slow now. The process will speed up. Now, for you, I don't know, maybe it goes a lot faster than it did for me, right? Maybe it takes you half the amount of text to read, right? To get to the same level. So, challenge yourself, >> right? Keep keep like pushing your engine. You're you're a sports car now. You're a race car, right? You got to take yourself out on the track and run yourself around and try to go faster
Than you did before. Try to try to do things differently. And you were going to get into um passages where you want to shoot yourself. You'll be like, I just took a course and I have no idea what he said in three words. What the hell? That's because you're going to be learning new structures all the time. All the time you're going to be learning new things you can do with the words. So okay fantastic. Let's take a 10 minute and say oh 15 after let's come back and I want to do start with Aristophanes and see if you think it's funny. All right.
>> All right.
Okay. What page is this on? >> Where are we at? >> We're at that first section of the nights, I think. >> I know. Sorry. >> Yes. I'm on the wrong page. I'm on the wrong page as well. >> Okay. >> I think it's 18, right? Oh, here it is. It's 5:38.
>> 538.
Let me silence that phone. Okay. Aristophanes knights. So bad has the leadership of Athens become that in Aristophanes reductio absurdum Deosanes and Nikkias two servants of Deos which is the people of Athens have just found out through an oracle that the city can be saved only when it is led by a sausage seller.
Ah, needless to say, a sausage seller opportunity happens along. So, um, a couple of things to notice. Um, you're going to start pulling texts and context is important. Just notice that we've got a discussion,
Right, with the people. You've got a very democratic thing that's going on here, but we're being directed by an oracle. So, right away, you should notice here that you have an association between governance, democratic governance and oracles. That should not alarm you because they're not tyrannical, right? Turns out the process that you get for making a person an oracle creates a democratic movement.
The person becomes that movement. It's gorgeous. Anyway, he's making jokes about that Alanto, right? That sausage seller. Go ahead. Reading Greek.
Did we lose her? >> Oh, sorry. I'm muted. >> Oh, there you go. >> Sorry. Um, so
Anthropo >> just go ahead and read the read the lines. Read the lines to me. I just want you to practice with the pronunciation. tal
Else. >> Yeah. Who's saying it? Who's saying the the second? >> Um
>> Good. Um he p
A to a kai meal
>> Good. So, let's look at some structure before we jump in. We've got three different lines and what is a couple of things couple of oddities you can look at. Just look at the note number two first. You got the host there with a note >> here. It equals halos. >> All right. Okay. Fine. No problem. Look at tleon.
Tleon here. All right. That's >> Yeah, that's something going on there. What the hell >> to >> Yeah, there you go. >> Yeah. >> Uhhuh. >> Does that mean >> So when why did they do that? Because look what happens
And the epsilon they're going to want to contract into an omocron oopsilon. >> All right. >> Yeah. That's in the appendix on page 614. You see how that crisis works. Anyway, um some of the vocabulary looks
The oracular response or the oracle. Umits were the people who bring those things to you. They they're the lovers. Who are the lovers of these oracle? There's a whole bunch of them. There's this is a wonderful wonderful word. As a matter of fact, it's so wonderful. >> I want you to see it here. >> Okay.
>> And it should strike you a little bit odd. You're learning a lot of Greek culture as well, right? What are these guys worried about? They're worried about what the oracles are saying. Why is that?
Response oracle. Notice what the very first thing you have there is. Pendar's pythe. >> Yeah. >> Number four. That's the pytheonode in which the oracle of media is >> media. Yeah. >> Right. So, >> wow. >> People don't realize that she is not only associated with oracles but she is considered to be oracle prime. >> Yeah. she is giving these oracles um as a part of guiding the society. So
Is she you know is she Uripides or Cynica's media? Not really. Right? The stage is portraying her in one you know very um strange way. Notice Adraus is here. Okay. Anyway um who is Oh yeah. Anyway, uh what do I need to show you? This look at the verbos. It tells you it's from >> Yeah. >> And sometimes their site is not so good.
Okay. >> Is this related to Christing at all? >> Um look, I don't I've actually been asked that before. Um uh and I do not see an overlap. The roots for the Christ thinging and the oracle are exceptionally
Close, right? But um that doesn't mean that they're the same root. That can be an accident or it can be something that's you're importing this from Ionian. Therefore, it's you know it just happens to be the same route. What you have to do is in practice does it surface in practice and in practice it doesn't that oracular event
Um here with atos does not seem to be using the same root as theto
Which is that um druginduced mania sex mania. So, however, is this what the oracles are doing? Absolutely.
How can you determine? Look, we just got a question that we're trying to see. Are these two roots related? Are these two different words using the same root? uh and it doesn't appear so from usage that they are, but it looks like they should on the surface. So, you have to be careful. And I've done this a lot with a lot of different roots in Greek over time. Things that I thought were related weren't, and things that I didn't know were, I discovered later are actually related. So, how do you
Determine it? How do you come to an acceptable answer for you as a student? All I would say is it's going to be a matter of what Greek you expose yourself to and h um how much you're able to build your awareness from that. You know, look at the grimarians. Let's go heavy on the grimarians and see, right?
I've never seen a derivation I've never seen a derivation that link the two. Right? The grammarians will tell you, "Oh, this is from this and it's connected to this." So I've never seen it in activity of the gods and their oracles. It just means to proclaim. Notice this is further answering your question. Notice the oracle or proclamation here. The verb is focusing on the proclamation itself. Right?
Is focusing on the process that you're involved with in using a substance to change someone to induce IO's mania. You need that Christ thing. Is that an aracular process? Yes, it is. Right. This is difficult people. That's a that's a very outstanding question. Um Yeah. Yeah. But it doesn't in practice they don't seem to be you know directly related if I mean directly influencing each other. Look at the passive something that is declared.
So it becomes that proclamation right mostly for oracles look mostly for oracles can be a regular response right but mostly for oracles >> when you use the verb in the middle it means when you say it means that you are consulting a god
That sounds a lot like the power of the christing Right. >> Yeah. >> If you're going to receive divine revelation,
Isn't that what IO is actually doing? You know, it's a little bit of a leap. I understand why you want to do it and I totally understand because it looks exactly like it. It looks like it should be the same route.
However, whenever you see these oracles, these are from Uh oh. This is just the the um or the oralizing, the creating, the telling, right? It's look, see how here we've got to furnish with a thing, right? It's a very practical process. It's the production of something, right?
>> How we call Jesus Christos, we're calling the oracles creo.
I I don't want to beat this to death. It's just funny. >> No. When we call Jesus the Christed, are we saying he's the oracled? No, >> we're not. We're saying he is that one who has been affected by a substance in order to produce a mantic state, a prophetic state. >> Right. But the oracles themselves could be Christed. >> Yeah. Just like Jesus is Christed. >> Yeah. Yeah. So, oh god
Right do you see people it's difficult it's difficult but until we have like a direct association right like in the process of um trying to figure out whether or not the same root is being used that this is actually the is the because you notice look
Ando two different lexical entries completely. This is why I'm saying in practice they come out where you need two different entries. All right.
>> What is missing in this route? You're saying right theion all that kind of stuff. What is missing?
>> Again, the focus is on that application, right? It's all on the application.
The sting of the gadfly is just an application.
So is this the same concept, same root concept as the message produced by the god? Is it the other question you can ask is what is the true root if if the oracle is coming from? Let me bring back up.
Watch what happens to the transformation of the word. It's this one. Boom. Okay. Look at the forms of the word that you're going to see.
Okay. Keep going. Eon.
Follow the root. Where's the root going? Do you see anything different? All you know for this root is that it's a hero. It's a hero. And so you're naturally your gut says, "Oh, it's got to be." No. What is not happening to the root? Nothing else is coming out in all of its different forms. Nothing else is coming out.
Okay? Look at it as it appears. That's why this whole first paragraph that you see, they're going to give you forms that you're going to be able to say, okay, here I can break down what is the root then, right? Okay. What happens with watch
What happens when we put in and let's look at all the forms, right? Because I can sit here all day and say, "Oh, my experience, my experience is telling me, you know, [\\h__\\h] right? You can't see through my experience. You have to take my word for it. But when you switch to look what happens,
Okay, look at its root. Okay. What are we having? We're having the root hero sigma.
Hero sigma, right? [\\h__\\h] the [\\h__\\h] the vowels. What does that mean? That means you're probably dealing with a completely separate route. And that's why I say that. That's why I say that somebody got really mad at me. It was that um jerkoff who only made it through the through the third chapter.
>> Right. Right. Because he swore he swore these are Oh, he's discovered it. And the thing is, look, when you when you actually march in the army and you spend all day doing army [\\h__\\h] and you sleep in the army way and you eat in the army way, um that constant experience gives you an advantage that you don't have if you don't do all that. So in in answer to the voices that are in your head, um I would I would say you are right to notice it, but you may be
You you the Victorians thought the roots were different and showed it through its formations of its its kronos, its tents, right? And ah god, how can you re really refute that? >> So I I don't care. I don't have a dog. I don't have an a pony in the race or whatever they say. A dog in the I don't know. I don't have >> They're not always right, but in this case, they're probably right. >> Again, look at what you say. Probably right. So you could write a paper that it was that they were the same and you
Could come up with all the examples you wanted and argue it and we give you 10 minutes max and you do it and then I come up on the same panel and I say why they're different, right? And do we really figure out what's going on? One of us will publish our stuff right in some obscure classics journal, >> right? And are we right? Oh god, it's really, you know, as you got to be a scientist about it. You got to say there it looks like there's
Reason that we aren't. But God, the topics, the things that they're doing are in two universes, semantic universes that are like right next to each other and overlap. There's got to be some kind of >> similar one Satan, right? You look at Satan and it says from Hebrew, it's the adversary and you're like, I don't know about that, right?
Right. Exactly. Yeah. I don't know because that's right. That's what that's not what the evidence we have seems to indicate. >> That's right. >> So, and people always ask, look, as a classical philologist, um people will quote a source and we'll say, "Oh, this is from this because this text says this." Right? Do you believe these texts can be um or that they're inherent or that they can be wrong? Right? Not everything that you're not here to read the truth, right? You're gonna get [\\h__\\h] from Plato.
You're not there to read the truth out of Plato. Um, you're there to read Plato and to know the evidence. So, from that perspective, I'm not trying to make anything. I don't want to smush the oracles and the Christing together. Is the is the prime Christ. Is she an oracle? Absolutely. Is she giving these things? Absolutely. Is she Christing? Absolutely. But god damn it looks from its aist alone in the future that I don't know. Is it appearing in other? Yeah, we do. We've got it in the just
Intos itself. Oh Jesus, they're too close. Now you can get another classist to stand here with me and say, you know, I don't think that's true. I think we can show it. And I'm going to give you a passage that shows that they're linked. Well, I've never found that. If there's a grimaran out there, there's got to be a grimaran out there who's looked at this already and has come up to a Greek grammarian ancient who said this is the way it is. You know, this is these two words are
Non associate. It doesn't have to be post Jesus, right? Can be before because they have the same words they're using before. So, um, that the biblical studies, they just, it's like they have a hang grenade, a space-time hang grenade, and they just throw it out there, and when it goes off, it bends the timeline. So, your history suddenly becomes [\\h__\\h] and you all of a sudden have to, oh, this is from the word MessiaCH. No, it's [\\h__\\h] not, right? Can you imagine that? Somebody comes along a thousand years
Later and says, "This is from the word Messiah." And everybody says, "Yay!" And the [\\h__\\h] church propagates it. And just, you know, why? Because they have to. Cuz their [\\h__\\h] falls apart if they don't.
Oh god. It's just like Jesus. People don't look for the truth in the Greek. Just [\\h__\\h] translate it. You know what I mean? Oh god. Let's go. That's a good qu. That was a brilliant question. Nice job. Um, voice in the head of Mattelena.
Mhm. >> Let's translate these lines, Malina. Um, >> okay. >> I'm going to share it back with you. Boom. Boom. Okay. >> All righty. Sausage seller.
TSD. What is it?
Um why why are you calling me >> good brilliant brilliant look at that word alanto polace the ending of it polace um is one who deals in whatever comes before it if you're a pole you're you're a dealer in whatever is attacked attached to the front of the pole. >> Um, so there are pharmarmacop there's a pharmacopolis too, one who deals in those drugs, right? So I just wanted you to see that, right? >> Cool. Okay. >> Okay. Now, what did Deosines say in response? >> He said,
Is that how you say that? >> No. Hang on. We got to run it all together. >> Okay. Well, This comma, this comma doesn't exist. That's [\\h__\\h] that we made up, right? >> So, try to run try to run the whole thing as if it sounds like one word.
>> Right. Nice. And that first word by the way is deo and macron has been elided and they use it all the time just you know o over here right elf just come here. >> Yeah. Yeah. Good. Good. >> Now what's that note? Hang on. What's that note in number one >> for the accent? Oh [\\h__\\h] the accent. I don't care about the accent. Okay. Keep going. Hina, so that p
You may inquire.
>> Look at pun. >> Oh yeah. Or learn by >> Right. Yeah. But just look for the fun of it. Look at punomi because it's a new verb. >> Yeah.
To inquire, to learn by inquiry. I like it. It's like, okay, you're going to investigate something. Punano. >> Nice. >> Good. Okay. >> Okay. Um,
Um, >> yeah. What is the a there? The a there is that second person singular from the verb to be, right? >> A. Yeah. >> Amy ast. All right. >> Okay. So the horse use the horse there as how >> how >> yeah how to how lucky
>> You are and how greatly um prosperous. >> Yeah. You elimon don right from el don they just have to what? Be happy. Yeah. >> Let's see. Be prosperous. They say be prosperous. >> Prosperous. Yeah. >> Okay. Wait. Hang on. >> Well, that's okay. Since you're making sense of it, let's >> Well, no. Let's speed it. Let's beat it up. >> Let's see if we can get any uh
Any gristle out of this. I don't know if we can to be honest. No, we're not going to be able to. >> Oh, gristle. >> To be truly happy. Okay, whatever. All right, >> paradise. Um,
To kai to. Okay. So um AC day come then um
Okay so castel is um so take take down um
From the table
A teach so an Adidas is to teach him teach like okay teach out teach to him >> yeah yeah >> I like that >> the oracle of the god >> Mhm. And what do they tell us with the horse here? Here it's hos. >> Hos. Yeah. H. So it means um which
>> It's literally as it holds. >> As it holds. >> Yeah. E in the manner it holds. >> Right. Give us this explanation. Show us. Right. Anadon. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Okay. Good. Fantastic. And notice the deosines. He's like, "Dude, you come here so you can learn how fortunate you are and how you're eliminic.
I just wanted you to The dude is gonna get, you know, is gonna become the leader. The oracle says you got to have a sausage seller uh for a leader, right? >> So >> yeah. >> So that's >> welld deserved. >> Yeah. He's he's you donic. E don. You are entering a world where you are elimon
Or elimonos. Oh god. Why? Because of this oracle, >> the powers that are from the don, they're coming from these oracles. People are not seeing it. The oracles are leading [\\h__\\h] society. In every one of these godamn plays, tragedy or comedy, they're talking to you about somebody's oracle. Adipus kills his father and [\\h__\\h] his mother because of an oracle,
Right? Everybody is dying because of oracle. The oracle said they would, right? Um, how do you achieve health? How do you achieve maintain health? The oracle. When you become really sick, where do you go to an oracle? Where's all the women's medicine coming from? The oracles. No. >> Right. So, there's a lot of [\\h__\\h] going on in the background that you don't you don't see. You mean they're going to elect somebody based upon what the oracle said? That doesn't sound like >> that doesn't sound like a democracy to me, does it? To you? It sounds like the oracles are running the show.
>> Yeah. >> Yeah. Welcome to the reality. Welcome to the reality. Okay. Okay. Oh god.
That's a little bit of Greek. It's real Greek. It's right from the stage. There's a lot of innuendos that, you know, we're going to miss out on, but you are making a connection to the text. >> Yeah. >> This is not exercises. We get to this point through the exercises.
So, um, what we can't do is we can't lose the momentum and we need to get you into a reading group. And so, I'm thinking on break, I was thinking, you know, it just makes perfect sense to put together a reading group now of all my students who have been through the that are directly involved with Lady Babylon, who have been through the um, intensive course. These will be your peers
And um maybe have a class of 10 of you and >> cool >> and go through chosen, right? The chosen people to be able to go through. Now, I know that some people have been doing this along with you, right? So, maybe we could invite some of those people with us. I'm just I'm I'm brainstorming. >> But what I want to do is I don't want to lose the momentum that you've got because >> Yeah. >> If I put you through a reading course right now,
>> It will tamp down everything that you have learned. >> Yeah. And I'm thinking of um I'm thinking of something that would not be standard, something that would be new and unread.
So, um, one of these apocryphal books that talks about all the dirty [\\h__\\h] that people haven't messed with. Um, >> yeah, that' be cool. >> This is what I'm thinking. We got this on TLG. We can do this on TLG. >> What do you think about that? >> That would be so cool. Yeah, let's do that.
>> Could I do it? Could I should I do it though with you as a center focus?
If I do, I'll limit the other people. I mean, I can put the pressure on you indirectly through them so you don't, >> you know what I mean? So you don't feel singled out. >> Mhm. >> And I think that's probably the way we should do it. >> Okay.
I'm thinking about doing it though more in the intensive kind of manner or mode. Intensive mode.
>> That'd be cool. >> What if we were to do this? What if we were to take a week? So, we're going to finish 20 tomorrow. I want you to read 20. >> Okay. >> And go there. Right. Hang on. Let's do this. I'm going to forget this great question that I need to ask you. >> Let's go to
The end of 20 and I want you to see at the end of 20. Boom. There it is. And the material's like it'll only take us 30 minutes to discuss this material. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Seriously. Um we can do some exercises too if you want to. There are some exercises on page 573. Um, but look at what they give you in the end for the readings. They just give you a giant passage of Gorgius, right? Hey, it's it's time. It's it's time for you to go and just read. And you could
Spend a day right now at this point. You could spend a day just reading Gorkius right if you want to. Here's a whole bunch of vocabulary. It gives you a little bit of cheat right now. But wait, look at the review for what would be the final exam
And look at the translations.
Right. My Well, look, you already started. You gone. You know what that is? Proton. Oh, got a little bit of What is that form? Apen hop. Oh, claws. you know, you can go back and look it up if you have to, but look at these giant slices, these paragraphs, right? Um,
Shorter ones on the next page. They're going to be packed with the grammar that you're supposed to learn, right? And then they've got an answer key for it, right? Nice, nice, nice.
