Welcome back to Lady Babylon. This is Aman U. This is Amonu. This is for those of you who are serious. This is for the few thousand people in the largest ancient Greek course ever.
Isn't this nice, people? Isn't this nice? Right? Look at that. Do you know your congregational numbers are huge?
Ancient Greek has never had such a following. Do you understand me? Realize what you're a part of. It's a tremendously gorgeous thing. Do you understand? And I take this responsibility very seriously. I take it seriously. So, welcome and good morning. Good morning.
Good morning. Let's learn some ancient Greek.
Now, I know that your assignment was to read the introduction and I know it will have hit some of you. It will have hit some of you in the face about will have knocked you out. A certain percentage of you. It will that introduction will have knocked you out,
Right? Welcome to the gymnasium. Welcome to the gymnasium, smart ones. You think you're so damn smart, right? This is fun. I'll let you know. I'll let you know when Mother Greek and I are on a firstname basis.
Um, and she is not wrestling me to the ground. I will let you know. It's been 35 years. I don't know. I don't know. Maybe 45. Love it. People, if you don't like Mother Greek wrestling you to the ground, then uh you shouldn't be here. Do you understand me? Oh god, she is so good. She's so good. Welcome back to the gymnasium, people. Let's get right into it. I just want to throw some some of this goodie up there. Actually, no. Uhuh. Give me the uh Nope. No. Here's
What I want to do, Chewy. sometime during each of these. Yeah, Chewy got really busy, huh? I didn't tell her about this. Chewy, I want to be able to bring in a student today. So, I want somebody to be able to email you and for you to send them a key to get in so that they can so that they can talk. Um we'll do it at the end of class people and you'll be able to see your fellow students and um yeah fantastic
Fantastic. So you can understand this is not this is a classroom environment, right? It's not just a dude in a car. It is. Don't get me wrong. It is. And I want everybody to understand that you have not paid me to be here. You have not paid me to be here. Which makes it a class where I can speak with bakic freedom.
Fantastic. You're going to get the real stuff today, people. The real stuff. Okay. And I'm going to ease you. I'm going to ease you in. Here's what I want to do. Yeah, keep going. Here's what I want to do. I want you to look up something, Chewy. I want you to look up Pontic Greek. People, where are you? You're in classical Greek. Do you understand me? What is Pontic Greek? Chewy, look this up. Pontic Greek. You're going to find it's a language that's spoken along the Black Sea in Turkey. Do you
Understand me? Yeah. Go ahead. Bring it up there. And you're going to see that this language is just now being researched properly. And it turns out that she is a sister. She is a sister. Don't put that up. She is a sister of Henistic Greek. And you say, "Oh, God. Greek this and Greek that." What the hell, people? You are studying the language that dominated the planet.
Do you understand? Half of what you're saying out of your stupid mouths is coming from this mother language right at the time when humanity sparked. Oh god, the language did it for us. Did you bring Beaolf? Get me Beaolf, too. Right, people? We're getting stuff ready. Just give us a second here. The first thing I want to look at is bea wolf people in order to really describe to you blow it up. Blow up the old English. Please boop.
Look at this people. What am I showing you? In order for you to get an understanding of what you are studying now that is ancient Greek. You need to have a perspective. ancient Greek spans 2,000 years.
Your English, just so you can understand what that means, this is your English in its early form. That's only about a thousand years old. This is a thousand years difference. People blow it up. Some people I know some people would argue maybe it's earlier I read that a couple hundred years earlier than that maybe like 1200300 years old. Okay, fine. I'll ask you people. Cherry, let's try to read this. Wigard
Now, what's the people? Am I making this up on the fly? Absolutely. Because look, I'm an English speaker. Okay. When you have a modern Greek speaker start telling you about ancient Greek, they're doing what I'm doing. Do you understand? And this is they're doing it three times worse.
Do I understand a godamn word of what I just read to you in old English? Hell no. Payful. Hell no. I didn't even know. Put it Bring it up again. Bring that chicken scratch up again. Look at this Anglo-Saxon bog trotting bar bar. Oh god. What is that first letter in the second line? What? What? What even is that? Is it a P? Is it a B? I don't know. Be
Kena. Oh god. Brim gon. I you have to spit while you're talking this.
What's the kind of What's we Ox? We Oh, look. There's the word under. But look people, the English word under. Oh god, it I'm sure it wasn't. How do you think it was pronounced? It probably wasn't pronounced under.
Ry probably un or something like that. Rise. Welcome. Oh god. Who's Plate at the bottom there? Hey Plate. Plate was God. Oh look, there's a little bit now people take it down. Do you see how I am slaughtering that? There is some professor of Anglo-Saxon
At Oxford or something who's sitting there just pissed. You know what I mean? She's like that dude is slaughtering. Okay, I am. And she is me with mother Greek. Do you understand me? with classical Greek. I feel just like her. When I hear somebody step forward with modern Greek, they think they've had a little bit of modern Greek and they jump in and they slash it and hack it. It's a joke and it's a shame. These people have no idols. They have no shame.
We are talking about Greek over a 2,000year period. If we just go from a th00and BC to a thousand anodominy
And you were talking about the development over that time and I'm going to give you texts that can be 2,000 years apart and you're going to have to read them. Do you understand what a classical philologist is?
Do you understand what you're getting into?
Yeah. Fantastic. I'm sorry we had to slaughter that bog trotting Anglosaxon crapery. Right now, here's an additional problem.
Ancient Greek, mother Greek is musical. There is a melody generated from speaking a melody. People try that with your English. You can't because English is a stress stress accented language. It does not contain melody. It contains stress
Da that is dactilic hexameter an ancient Greek mater in stress Anglo-Saxon crap tongue
As you spoke mother Greek in antiquity. You picked up a melody. Not just a rhythm, a melody. Now, what how am I going to be able to teach you something that is beyond us? That tech is beyond us, right? It's not just a pitch accent,
Right? It's melody. Oh my god. All of the vowels are doing this. What are the vowels in Greek asations, their notes,
Their notes accented tonally in order to create rhythm,
Rhythm and melody. Fantastic. Now, are we going to be able to go there? No. Our operating systems won't allow it. So, what do you have to do to adjust? There's a bridge. There's a patch, if you will, that we can use to get there, right? We can observe them through our
And that's how you're going to do this. You have to learn to march. This is the stress march. This is what you do in English. Do you see how difficult it is to bring an advanced operating system and to impress it upon our own? You need patches.
Fantastic. I'm going to pro be providing passages of patches here. Melodic music. So, that was very nice. Make man's mouth water. I like that. Fantastic. Um, let's go ahead and get started. Now, I want
Um people I just want to make reference. There was a really good article on that in the Greek I think it's the Greek reporter do the pontic Greeks and the Greek reporter. So people one of the things that pontic modern day pontic Greek has um like its mother classical Greek is the infinitive
Right which you would think is an easy concept. You know English tries to build one itself. It doesn't really have a native infinitive. It tries to build one itself. right? Um, reaching for the stars,
Whereas modern Greek, it doesn't have one. It just gave up, right? Oh, God. On a thousand different planes of existence. Yeah. No, maybe it's this one. Yeah. Look, there are some here. Go. Nope. Okay, we'll find it. Which If you look up for the Greek reporter and you look for the Pontic Greek that they're doing research on and from Turkey, Northern Turkey, um you'll find
Uh the complexity is the result of the elevated level of performance of ancient Greek. Okay.
At a that is gone. Right? Philologists say a dead language. There's a difference between the books that you read with definitions in them. If the language is living, you call those dictionaries.
That's freaking Romans dictionaries. If the language is dead, those are Lexica, right? Those are Lexica. Yeah, here she is. Go ahead and put her up here. We can run her for a second. Look at the scholar who's working on this. Can you blow that up and play it a little bit, Sherry? Let's hear some of her video or audio. Go ahead.
I study Rome, which is a living language preserving structures only to be found in classical Greek, which has been dead for more than 2,000 years.
Oh god. Look, I'm gonna simp. I'm gonna simp. I'm sorry. I can't help it. Right. Um Yeah. Yeah. This is a linguist, right? And she's trying to tell you the things that I've been telling you about classical. Oh, it's lagging.
Yeah, the internet. Jewy's telling me we're having some technical difficulties. Did they get a chance to see that video kind of people? Well, oh god,
It'll clear up. I think it'll clear up cuz that person moved. Fantastic. We were by Sorry about that people. We're in the wake of a supply ship there. Let's look at Let's take one more look at that video. This is a linguist who's studying who's studying the language that we are now just arriving at an understanding a proper academic scientific understanding of right
Historical people if you don't know your history you're screwed right uh so this language one of the things that she will talk about is the infinitive that it's going to be using um as mother Greek used it Right? These are all inventions, musical inventions of ancient Greek. Okay? And she says a language that died 2,000 years ago. Right? Look what she's doing. Look what she's doing, people.
She's trying to tell you this is a different different entity, a glorious entity that you do not understand. She has seen and beheld the beauty of mother Greek in all of her complexity. And she knows, hey, this modern language. Wow, look at it. Oh, looks like it's frozen in time and hellenistic,
You know, helenistic grace. Oh god, it's gorgeous. I love it. I absolutely love it. Let's try a little more of her video just to give her little b.
Romeica is spoken on the Black Sea coast of Turkey in some remote mountain villages in the area around Trapis. This region lay the heart of the Greek speaking world and in 1923 when Greece and Turkey signed the treaty of Loausanne which postulated the exchange of populations. Romea speakers were exempt from the treaty because they are Muslims in this remote corner of the world. Okay. Um, if let me just say if you didn't think that that was sexy, something is wrong with you, right? Something is wrong. Is the empire blocking? The empire's blocking
Us because it's so sexy. The sexiness is overwhelming us. Oh my god, people. I don't know if this will come through, but I think they're I think they're on to us at this location broadcasting from here. We may have to move. Chewy, do you want me to move? No, just leave it. Okay. So, people, what am I doing? I'm trying to show you that what I've been telling you is 100% accurate. And for somebody to step forward and to use a modern Greek pronunciation, first of all, of ancient Greek shows, they
Don't know what they're doing. They don't know what they're doing. Do you understand why this is a degree program at a university? Do you understand why it took me 12 years to get four degrees all of them through classics, right? Or taking classics the whole time. I also did science too, but taking classics the whole time, right? Every semester.
Do you understand? We have to be trained to read across two millennia. My god, how are we going to do that?
Okay, so don't be fooled. This is classical philology. And if you didn't think that was sexy, something's wrong with you people. Something is wrong with you. Just think about that language that this brilliant woman has
Brought us all to study and enlighten us. Oh God, it's gorgeous, right? Fantastic. And it's sitting right in front of you. That language is sitting right in front of you. And there is nothing like her. There is nothing like her. Okay, that's enough of my simpery. I'm gonna put these up to you. That's enough of my sery. But, you know, I think being a simp can be a very good thing, right? I think a buddy of mine was the s in the Garden of Eden. Right.
Was there a simp there? There was. Oh, God. If you could scrape your armpit scrapings and put them into a drink and that drink would cause her to completely fall into your arms. Oh
God, would you do it? I don't know. I don't know. People, this is the kind of stuff, this language that we're dealing with, that we're worshiping this ancient Greek. That's the kind of stuff she talks about. Oh god, it's gorgeous. And the horror people, the academic horror is fantastic.
Let's do some letters. Pull us up some letters before we get to the blood people. If you came to ancient Greek to learn about drinking blood, then you've come to the right place. Hello, ladies waving at me.
Go get your horse and buggies. Let's get this done. Do it. Now I want to start. What did I just say to pull up there? Letters, people. Chewy has put together an ensembler that is just going to blow our minds. People, this is alpha. And I want you to look. There are two types of the letters. The big one and the small one. Right. Are these uppercase and lowercase like English? No.
Over time they become that originally the big one is the angular one that they write on rocks with. Do you understand the little one? That's the one you write on a scroll. Okay? And by the way, you don't put spaces between words.
Do you do that when you sing? Imagine if singers did that, right? Well, you have to put a pause, a canyon. You have to put a pause or a canyon between the sounds that you're making. Wait, what? Imagine that. Do that digitally to a song and watch what you get. That's [\\h__\\h] It will drive you crazy. Oh my god. Fluidity.
Greek flows, right? They worshiped her. Wait, what? Yes, they worshiped Rehea, the flow. If you're a musician and you don't recognize Rehea, something's wrong. Something's wrong, right? Did they not teach you in the seminary? Oh, God. These priests, right? These pagan priests,
It's all the music education they got, people. It's gorgeous. Give me the alpha again, people. We're talking about 24 letters. 17 of these are going to be consonants, right? Seven of them vowels. Those seven vowels are your seven notes.
Do you understand? Oh, is this a heptacord? Oh, help me. Help me. I'm drowning in mother Greek. Alpha. Alpha. But do you understand our first vowel? This is one of the seven. You will learn how to control how to manipulate alpha.
I will teach you from alpha to omega. Now there is a reason for that expression. There's a reason. You would think they'd look this stuff up. I mean, you you'd have thought. Anyway, rise. There we go. Look at omega. We have what we'll call its capital form and its lowercase form. Right? Fantastic.
Beautiful. Look at go back to omega. Look at the roundness people. The roundness of that omega. Right. Now omega becomes difficult. You can't put omega on a monument. Right. Right. So what do you do? You follow that old script
Because those Greeks were putting this stuff into stone from early on. Early early early on, they were putting music into stone.
And how do you do that? You hire a geometrician. Is that a Greek word? Yes, it is. You dumbass. It is a Greek word, right? Do you understand, people? I'll I'll let you know when I stop getting embarrassed by trying to read with these dead Greeks, by trying to understand what they're talking about. You get your geometricians involved, right? Your angularity increases. What does that do? It changes the tone. Oh my god.
Does anyone follow this? Do you understand why Mother Greek will rrestle you to the ground and put you into a submission that hurts? That hurts. It's painful, right? She's just causing you to stretch. She's causing you to stretch. Let's do a couple more letters. Go to beta. Beta, people. Beta. This is how we're going to see beta. Right now, what kind of font is this we're using? Right. The font will vary. You're going to have to get used to that. There's going to be little distinctions, right? But this is the basic form. Give me a gamma, right?
Couple of consonants, beta and gamma, right? Couple of consonants. Now, look at that gamma. Look at the form of gamma that we're going to see on scrolls. The type that you and I are going to read the majority of the time. We're going to start our sentences with capitals. Why? Because the Greeks did that? No. Because we did that.
It's a crutch, people. Now, you don't know how big of a crutch that is. How that takes a part of your brain in having to produce capital letters. It takes a chunk of your brain and and and uh what is it? fractures the circuit. Yeah. You don't have a complete circuit anymore, right? In one little area of your brain. Let me give you an example. When the Greeks saw aeros, which is desire or love, sexual love.
They saw a person. You see a thing, a concept. They saw a person.
There were no capital letters. Love is a person. Okay, I want you to think about that for a minute, right? It's going to complete a new circuit in your brain, right? Justice is a lady.
Justice is a woman. Yeah. Okay. If when I say justice, you hear abstract concept, it's because you have had your circuit cut and now it's time to complete it. I want you to take that capital out because it doesn't exist.
Do you understand? Gaia earth she
Ga earth she Do you understand? Fantastic capital letters. Right. Go back to that gamma. That gamma makes makes me um go places. Right. Look at the gamma. Look at the gamma. Fantastic. Um, for all of you seminarians,
Can't put your letters together. Um, listen, start paying attention. This alphabet's important. Give me one more. Here's a delta, people. Here's a delta. No, I'm going to do them. I'm going to do more text now. Here's a delta, people. Look at the delta. Nice. This looks like a triangle. Yeah, it does. Right now, look at the delta that we're going to be seeing on our scrolls. Notice I'm not saying books. Scrolls, people.
Right, you think those are books? Those are not books. They are scrolls. And I'm going to show you some of those scrolls. Look at that delta. Is that delta sexy or not? You start when you're riding delta and orthography is important people. You have to realize you and I are doing this like a bunch of junkies, right? Just staring, right? We've we've had our we've had our superdrug brought to us by pharma, right? And we are sitting here as robots just spacing out watching the lines form.
Orthography is something that is engaged with your hands that the Greeks found to be very very important. Right? They made it sexy, baby. It's all like it's like grammar. It's like X-rated grammar. You want some X-rated grammar? That's what we're going to get, baby. Right.
Let's do this. Let's do this. Give me some Pull up some Greek. Some of this. I want to look at some actual Greek. Shut up and give me some actual Greek. Right, people.
I'm going to pull from you. For you. This is the perfect time for this. I'm going to pull for you. I want you to focus on that word, Chewy. Look at this word here with the big stupid number one next to it. Right? Look at the look at the letters in this word people. The alpha is up front. Yoda's next. Delta is following that. There's our delta. How do we orthographically represent delta? We start right here. Right at her naval, right? And we follow, we trace a little
Line down like this from her naval down here up back around a little circle to her naval again. And then what do we do? We give it a little quick yank on the top like this, right? Sends a tickle into your brain. You know what I mean? That's the delta. Look at the omega sitting next to it. Omega. That's dirty, right? Everybody can see the dirtiness of the omega there, right? I don't need to point that out. And then we got a sigma, a terminal sigma on the end of it, right? And how
Do you pronounce that? I do. I do.
Everybody I do. Now that first letter is capitalized only because our editors many many many centuries later are capitalizing it. Do you understand? Fantastic. Why are our editors capitalizing it? Because they Well, first of all, here it's starting out a sentence, right? Second of all, they know that the Greeks looked at idos as a person,
As an entity, as an individual. Okay. What is idos? Idos is shame. Shame. Shame is a lady.
Let me introduce you to shame's friend and constant companion. Are you ready? Bring that same passage back up. Right next to her, people. But that little word between the two is kai. Kai, right? And. It's just and. Now look at the next word that's that's the companion of shame right new
Epsilon mu epsilon sigma e iota sigma
Nemesis People, you've heard Nemesis because you speak English. Do you understand me? Nemesis. We fantastic. Oh, God. Love it. And who is Nemesis? Do you want to know who Nemesis is? Nemesis is the woman who gives you what you deserve.
Especially when you are ungrateful for what life has given you. Do you understand? Do you understand why she likes to hang around shame? Right? Do you understand? What is that shame? It is a recognition of divinity. I recognize the divinity of nemesis.
I recognize the divinity of Nemesis. And who and who who is Nemesis? Do you know what who she is? She's the one who shows up. When you are given something gorgeous and have no respect for it, you lose it.
When you give yourself to the acquisition of goods,
You sell your soul. A piece that you can never reacquire
Because your greed stains your soul with the stench of ruin. And ruin is a lady. Oh, God. These people, these people, do you understand me? They're describing the natural, at least in their own terms, the nature's physics,
Right? This is nature's bounty, people. They're giving it to us. Now, do you understand why they're writing plays about somebody, the tyrant? The tyrant? Oh, God. Who is the turanos? That's a Greek word people. Did we find that one? Look up. Look up to those people. Give these people here. Where? I'm going to go to lexicon. Boom. This is really awkward this way. Look what it does. Go to the lex the lookup page. Here you go. Yep. Go there. Now type in Chewy. Boom.
Boom. Let me pull this up, people. This is well worth it. And strikingly relevant. Fantastic. Don't I always bring you the things that are relevant to the now? I do. That's why you'd love it. One of the reasons people realize this is the largest ancient Greek class in history. Right. Except for ancient Greece. I mean they may have had larger ones but not this one. Right. Not modern modern wise. Right. Right. Oh god. Did we show him? Oh god. We showed him. Satanic congregation. Look at this word now.
People blow that up. Let me see. Chewy. Everybody look at this lexical entry. Bam. Chewy's fighting with it. Get him, Chewy. Fantastic. Turanos.
Tao. Oops. Row alpha. New. Look at that double new. You know that mean stuff that sigma. Oh god. Double news. Double sigas.
An absolute ruler. What is a turanos? Right. It's an absolute ruler who's what? Who's unlimited by law or constitution? You say, "Wait a minute. That's the ancient Greek definition." Yes. Because all of that stuff like constitution is coming from mother Greek. Do you understand me?
Right. Sometimes the Romans try to run on the stage and flip up their skirts and show you what they got. That's what they're doing with constitution. Do you understand? Oh god. What is a tonos? It's somebody
Who rules extra constitutionally. When you see a ruler taking a dump on the Constitution, you know you have a classic tyrant. And remember, if there's one thing, blow me up. If there's one thing the founding knuckleheads of this American
Democracy, if there's one thing that they were interested in, it was stopping tyrants like that bastard king of England.
How do they get their power? by crapping on the constitution, right? And our founders wanted us to preserve that constitution. There are people all over this country today who are fighting this mental battle.
How do I keep my oath to the constitution? Do you realize when you swear an oath, you swear to protect the Constitution?
Tyrants crap on the Constitution. Let me give you an example. Let me give you one more example. Right. Here's here's what I want to do. Let me give you one more example. Yeah. The White House Office of Faith
There shall be no establishment of religion by the government.
While we consider our oaths to the Constitution,
We the people have stood aside and watched it happen. I always wondered how they felt in Germany in the late 30s and early 40s. I always wondered how they felt as they watched it happen.
The greatest generation is hanging its head.
The key to defending your oath is Mother Greek. Understand what the founders understood.
God, it's gorgeous. People, I'm telling you, if you don't have a history, you're screwed. Okay? That's how people control. That's how people get genocided historically across thousands of years, baby. When they lose their history.
Oh my god. Do you see? Justification for wiping out human beings is not something new, right? History is the key. The Renaissance always comes with the rediscovery of mother Greek. Oh god. Flash me a couple more letters and then we'll do some more text. This is getting intellectually pornographic, people. Epsilon. No, epsilon. Another
Vowel. We have alpha and we have epsilon. Right? E. Oh god, look at epsilon.
Give me another one people. This is zeta, right? Which has come down to us now as zeta, right? This just the way that classical philologists get lazy. Is it a DZ or a ZD or an SD or a DS? Oh god, yes. The answer to all of those those four questions is yes. Are you kidding me? No. But look at how sexy. Now this Zeta particularly in this font I mean yeah the linear zeta that we're going to put on monuments that you know eh reasonable. How about the Zeta?
That's the one that we're going to be looking at in our tags. Look at her, man. And how she's built. Gorgeous. This one's a little bit, this font is a little bit linear. Her, See her little feet there at the bottom. They should have a little bit of foot on them. That looks like they cut off her feet there. And her feet are pointed backwards. Okay. Gorgeous. That's her hair up top. Ah, absolutely. Right. Give me the next letter. Oh god. Ada, people. Another vowel, another note on our heptacord,
Right? Oh god, look at her tiny form. Oh, it's dainty. I love that. I love the daintiness of the aa. Give me the next aa
- This is theta. And theta is our English th right now. Technically, it's just a towel followed by a puff of air. T. So, I had some professors like Tom Woren who would be insistent in Arizona. He was insistent. He was like, "Don't pronounce that like a th in English." It's not the th in English, right? It's a towel followed by a puff of air. The ancient Greeks were into puffs of air as forms of music. And you see them every Can you believe this? Every vowel,
Right? Oh my god, what what every vow's got to worry about some sort of puff of air surrounding it. It's absolutely gorgeous, people. This language is is beyond the engineering of English, you know, considerably, considerably. And it's not just pitch accent. We have modern languages like Chinese just have plain old pitch. Um, we're talking the production of melody
People, right? The where are the instrumentalists? Did you bring that chart? Where the hell is that crazy chart? Did you bring the chart? Okay, give you a second to bring up bring up this chart. Okay, people. Now, while she does that, I want to scramble your brain a little bit. I know that you're just getting used to the letters, right? People are calling me. They're saying, not calling me, they're writing to me and they're saying, "I want to start your C. Start your course. I want to do
The Greek." That's what almond you is. I want you to pay attention. Pay attention, gorgeous. Look at this. I want to blow your mind a little bit. What? This is one of the Oh, God. one of the Greek musicians
From antiquities writing out you know defining music trying to follow this people try to follow this look at the top muzzie K is what the big umbrella is right and what do we have within music we have three parts we have three parts we have a technica part we have aikica part and we have an exangalica part. Oh,
Exon galica. Excuse me. I put an insert in epsilon, right? Made it easier. I'm an addictist all the way, people. You mean, wait a minute. Um, you mean we're going to have to deal with different dialects, inserting vowels in different places? Yeah. People, some of them just don't like certain letters together. So, they'll change them. They'll drop them. They'll dyslexically switch them.
What happens when you take musicians, you take the rulers of the strings and you make them rulers of people, you get ancient Greek. It's absolutely gorgeous. any any text like this, and I I'm going to read to you a little bit from this text here. Now's as good a time as ever, but any text like this is going to tell you um there are real problems that we have. First of all, pronunciation. You have no idea what you're talking about, right? Oh god. Let me see. Where's the pronunciation?
Give it to me. No, no, no, no. Um, go ahead and put the chart up while I'm while I'm looking for this, Chewy. Give me a second, people. Oh my god. I just want to read it to you.
Put the chart up. Yeah. Study that chart, class. Study that chart. Look at those letters.
Okay, there's three parts. There's the technical, right? There's the practical,
Right? And there's the performative, right? How God the creative is coming out. You see, this is a scheme for breaking down music, right? Are they talking about music like you and I think of music here? Yeah. Are they talking about language? Yes.
This is from Smithe. Bring me big. Make me big. This is from Smi people.
And for all the musicians who are taking ancient Greek, because I know of the 3,000 of you, I know that some of you are musicians. I know that. Look at that chart that I just put up there. You're going to find words like rhythm and melody.
Oh, it's gorgeous. It's a lot. You people would love it. You musicians would love it. You'd love to sit around with these ancient Greeks, dude. You can this trip is for you. The pronunciation of ancient Greek varied much according to time and place and differed in many important respects from that of the modern language
In many many many respects. This is just pronunciation people. This is just pronunciation. Oh god. While in general Greek of the classical period was a phonetic language i.e. the letters represented the sounds right and no heard sound was unexpressed in writing course of time many words were expressed in the course of time many words were retained in their old forms though the pronunciation changes. Oh god are you kidding? You're dealing with a slide in pronunciation over time.
It's amazing. It's amazing. Our current pronunciation of ancient Greek is only in part even approximately correct for the period of the death of Pericles 429 BC. What you are going to be learning, get back there. What you are going to be learning in ancient Greek is only partially correct
When it comes to the pronunciation partially. And that partial that part that we are correct on is very slight. It's as if we got the rhythm correct and we don't have any melody whatsoever.
Okay, that's the problem. And you and I have to study it that way. Why? Because we're sitting here with bog trotting Anglo-Saxon as a freaking operating system. And you're sitting there with Anglo-Saxon or you're sitting there with Arabic or you're sitting there with Russian or you're sitting there with French.
Doesn't matter. Barbar, you are all barbarians. And what is a barbarian? someone whose operating system is not mother Greek.
Now get this. During this time of the development the history of the Greek language, there are periods where she is being commonized and people then fight against it and the language becomes lazy, inefficient,
Inexpressive, dumbed down, dogmatic, common coin a and there are people who come along and say, "Nay, we need that elevated language that the Athenians had in the fifth. We need that back." And they try to bring it back. They try consciously, purposefully filling libraries with atticized Greek
Taken from the commoner. Yeah. Oh god, it's gorgeous. Absolutely gorgeous. There are struggles within ancient Greek to bring to you the purest, most expressive, most complex,
Most natural language. Oh God. Oh God. Gorgeous. Give us a couple more letters. Give us a couple more letters. Are you appreciating this, people? Here's your iota. Right here's your iota. Another vowel, another note. Iota stands right in the middle.
On Yoda's left side are those beginning vowels. On Iota's right side are those ending vowels. Oh god. Yeah. Fantastic. Eota. Eota kappa just like our English K, right? Kappa. And sometimes fontwise the kappa looks like a um an X in English. Okay. Fantastic. So don't let that that one will sneak up on you a little bit there. Right. Look at Sesame Street for perverts. Give me the next one. Lambda. Lambda. Love it. Lambda stands on its own, baby. Love it. They're putting this stuff on shields and stuff like that, right? Give
Me the next one. Boom. Mew. Mew. Mew. Look at linear angular mew versus their our little scroll. Mew. Yes. Fantastic. Fantastic. I don't like when he does that. Mommy, shut up. Right. We've got to put Timmy in the pop pole. Freud will do something to Timmy in the poop hole.
God, is that code? Right. It's a hole people in the ground full of stircus, full of sewage. We put Jung in there. The problem is if you put That's why I'm not putting Timmy in there. If you put Timmy in the hole with Yung, Yung's going to do something to Timmy in the poop hole. Trust me. Give me the next one.
Boom. Another one. No people. No. You didn't know you'd learn things about.
It's It's It's not a V. It's not a V. It's a new. It's a new. Right. New. Fantastic. It looks like a V, but it's not. Give me an X. Now people, this one I want this one to throw your brain a little bit. Those of you who are artists, look at the C. This is a kappa and a sigma together. Some of the letters, right? In ancient Greek are combos. They're combos of sounds. This is the cap and the sigma. A c with a s together makes a or a c.
Look, look at the form of the C that you put on stone. It's Look at bars. It's just three bars with a kind of nice one in the middle, right? Like that bar that was on the theta. Oh god, some gorgeousness going on here, right? But look at look at her form in the scrolls when we're reading the scrolls, right? Look at her. She's a sister of Zeta, isn't she? Right. Yeah. Look at that orthography, people. Now, orthography.
Who is it that allowed the Romans to have an alphabet? It wasn't some Roman, right? Those of you who are so proud of your Roman ancestry, I'm going to I'm going to humiliate you for a minute because I can. Because history allows me to do that. It allows me to humble you. And you should be. Look, there's a lot of if you're if you have Roman heritage and there's a lot to be quite proud of. But I want you to know that your earliest ancestors, they couldn't come
Up with their own language. They they couldn't they had to they had to have a very educated Greek woman teach them how to make an alphabet. What is that alphabet? Right? It's your alpha and your beta.
It's okay. She didn't do it condescendingly, right? And after all, they they idolized her. They turned her into a divinity. They gave her shrines. Go ahead and close. They gave her shrines, right? Worship,
Right? Who was she? She was their musa. Musa. She was the muse. Yeah. Full of songs. She was Carmenta. Those things just flow. Those songs, they just flow. Where is ancient Greek coming from? It's coming from a woman who sings
And is in tune with a stringed instrument. The singer of the guitar brought you your language. You hutdwelling Romans. You couldn't have expressed your hobgoblin tongue in writing otherwise.
Did he just say Latin hobgoblin? Yeah, I did. Wait, was that you? Oh, we're going. Okay. Letters, people. Letters. Letters. Where are the letters here? You need to omocron. Omocrron. Look, that's Look, omocron. It's the little O. Right. Give me the next. That was another vowel, by the way. Then our P. It's not your pie, people. It's your P. It's your P. Right. Pop up. P. Good. Next letter, please.
Row. Row. People. Look at row. It looks like a P. Don't be confused. It's a row. Right now, technically, there's a little puff of air there that's going to be contained there. Right? So, what do you do? You trill this thing like the Italians do when they talk about their fetis. You know what I mean? You got to trill a little bit. Run the tongue up and down. You know what I mean? Fantastic Romans. They were good for something. Give me the next one. Look at the sigma
People. Here's the internal sigma and it's terminal sigma. Right. Good. Good. I just want you to take a look at them. Chewy. Throw. We need some more text. Throw some text up there. Nope. I want to do text. Boom. People. If we run out of gas during the production and crash, just realize that's the end. Read the introduction again for Friday. That's your assignment. Read the introduction again. Read it again. I don't want you to memorize the anything that accents. Don't worry. I just want you to read it. Familiarize
Yourself with it. Right. Blow that up, please. Joy people, I want you to see this actual text. What is this? This is the testimony of Abraham. Fantastic. You didn't even know this existed, right? No, this is in the black Bible, people. And we're talking about a kidna. And we're talking about poisons.
And we're talking about different eobolon people. Look at this expression right here. Highlight that. Oh, you Oh, you can't. It won't highlight. Okay. Don't people just look people look at this. What is that word? Ebolon.
Eobolon. Look at that. Yoda, omocron, beta, omocron, lambda, omega, new yolon.
One thing I want you to realize that Greek is doing is with every note you are getting a syllable. All right. Every note you're getting a syllable. Greek doesn't mess around with you. It's straight up music. Fantastic. Fantastic. Eopolon. What is the eos? It's the poison. What are those things that are bull? Those are the things that you're throwing. Those are the things that you're shooting. Your arrows. The o eboloy are those bastards that stand there with those poison arrows that we cannot get rid of. We keep pushing them
Back and every time we come in, they sneak in. They sneak in. Somebody gets shot. Somebody gets shot. Go back to the text. What comes before that? You can have people that do that and you can have creatures that do that like
Snakes. And there are a few of the snakes listed here. Right. Right here is the Sarasses. Right. Kaston people. Right here. Kerone. Right. What else? The Bilisone. Right. Oh god. Who's Who's next? Ehes. Right. Oh, Akidna is there. Akidna is there. Who's she? She's the Viper people, right? What is he going to be doing? He's going to be working with Pharmaca.
Surprise. Pharmaca. Things that are potent wh no things that are
Look at these two words together, people here. Right. I'm put my little cursor around them. Potia dearia
Portadia. What is that? You remember the cup that you drank of communion? The cup that is dearia. These are the cups of communion that contain the drugs that will kill you. They will cause you extreme harm.
Caution. Communion is dangerous. Do you remember what happened when when the kid goes in? Who was it? It was some kid. Was did he have a name? I don't remember if that kid had a name. This is in the Black Bible, right? It's in the Apocrypha. Some kid goes in to the apostles are there and he takes the communion without them knowing it and he paralyzes himself. He paralyzes himself,
Right? And then he gets healed by the apostles because they know what to give him to reverse whatever it was that was in the communion. That is delotterious. Do you realize that word is Greek? Delitarious.
All of this people. Oh my god. Gorgeous. Now give me a couple more letters. Who is this? A kidna, by the way, we are supposed to be following people. Get this. Okay, I guess I got to be blown up for this one. Listen people, I hate to be blown up so much. Listen people, the akidna, we're on to a real horror story because all of this tech is being traced back through an identifiable priesthood, the priesthood of the akidna. Right? So that priesthood is operating
Across time from the creation of the mystery by media and the inception of meanatic worship. That's from you ladies being wet. You know that's why they call them meanads. I'm not kidding you. You mean
People. I don't know about you. I don't know about you, but this stuff is awesome. Awesome.
Give me some letters. I got to cool down with some letters, people. Towel. Towel, people. Look at the towel. It's just our English T, right? That's how we're going to approximate it. Good. Good. And what else? Remember, we're when we print pronounce, we're hitting a sliver of the reality, people. Oops. Oops. I like oopsilon. Right. Another vowel. Another vow. Ooh. Good. Give me. Giveimme. Giveimme. Give me. Here's my personal favorite is he. Is he. Just because you really don't have he in a lot of places, right? In a lot of places, the modern Greeks retained this one, right? They retained it, right?
The he is just a it's just a slight hiss. It's not a sibilation like the sigma. That's what snakes do. Right. Right. This is the hiss.
Do you see what they're doing? All of the things that I'm trying to illustrate to you are funoy. They are noises that you're going to make, right? Vocalizations. You realize the birds around you vocalize,
Right? You realize living in a world where there are birds and other animals that vocalize, we are going to be modeling our language from this natural physical form. Nature is we are part of nature, right? You don't look at yourself as part of nature. Monism says nature is dead.
She is not worthy of veneration. Right? The people who are writing this stuff are connected to nature. That's how they think. So the nature provides the science for them that drives everything. Do you get it? Oh god, it's gorgeous. Right? And that's what the mons are so pissed about. And that's what they try to overthrow. And when they do, you lose your democracy. You lose your history. You lose your freedom. Walk on that constitution. There are people in this country who are sworn to defend it.
Last two. See, this one looks culty, doesn't it? And it turns out historically it does become culty, right? Follow C through the Renaissance, right? I I'll give you a hint. Look for C. Look for C in the secrets. What's the guy who wrote the secrets? He carried around. He talked to the muse through a little red book that he carried around. Oh god, I'm going to remember his Renaissance name in a second. Somebody Plutarch. Was that Plutarch?
Oh, I think it was Plutarch. Anyway, um the secret, right? The secret, right? The secret. Check it out. Find the C there. That's for all you nerds who love studying things like Freemasons and stuff like that, right? Fantastic. Give me the next one. Look at what little bonuses you get from Mother Greek, right? These are just things that followed her. People in her train. Omega. Our final vowel, right? That deep, dark abyss of the Omega. It's
Funny when you say omega um once you've been into the Greek itself um you recognize the use of these expressions like Jesus talks about alpha to omega right you realize he's talking about a scale right you realize he's talking about starting at a height and ending at a depth
But you missed it Because Jesus spoke ancient Greek. He didn't speak Hebrew. There was no Hebrew being spoken at the time, people. Right? Give me I'm I'm perfectly happy to concede that if you can give me one medical document, one give me some literature. Give me something that they would have been teaching in schools. It doesn't exist, people. But the Greek does with everything that they were teaching in school. Which is why when dudes like Josephus Oh, somewhere a baby just had an angel fart in its mouth.
Josephus. Josephus. Josephus. Right. Oh, they're all over the place now. A whole room of them. We got triplets with that one. Right now they understand. The mothers understand. Why? Why is he screaming? Oh god. I think I lost it there. Josephus is using. What does Josephus use? What is he taught in school? Greek people. And it's not a different Greek than classical Greek. The people who think that are stupid. They don't understand what coin actually is. That's how bad that's how bad they are. Do you
Understand? They are deceiving through their selfdeception. Look into the mirror. people. You don't know this stuff. You don't. Oh, God. But you people are now, right? That's what we're here to do. We're here to give you everything. Um, we're going to end up via that omega in that great abyss
From which comes the poasis, the creation, the rhythm and the melody within the technique, that art, right? Those things have to be brought forward for you to embrace this language because the vocabulary is going to blow your mind.
Part of your introduction talks about accents. And I always tell people, don't pay too much attention because it's going to blow your mind. And we don't even use accents properly. You're going to see them in the text. These little hash marks above the letters. You're going to see them there. Realize those are indicators of changes in tone.
The word for those accents is tone. Are we going to represent that? No. We're going to stress those accents. We're going to give them double time just like we do our bar bar goddamn English.
Welcome to your limitations, people. You're going to be studying an advanced and superior language. It's going to cause you to stretch. Idos and nemesis. Give me that one people. Let me show you really quick. Idos and nemesis are here, right? What is this? What is this little passage about? This is about a woman. What is her name? A glow, right? A glow, right? Just some glorious victory is her name. Her parents, that's a that's a preeminent victory. That's a nice name for a girl. Anyway, um they talk about
Her and what do they say? They say she was a gunastro case. She was an astrologer woman, right? She was an astrologer woman. And what did she do? She predicted the eclipses of the moon, right? Making that through go
And cathin. How is this woman determining when the eclipses are going to take place? She is doing it as a go ace as what you and I have described as a magician. But that's a terrible definition because you know a magos is a person who induces prophetic vision by drugs. We just saw that right? What is a go? Goas is a little bit different. A goasace is someone. A goas is somebody who works through that realm of the voice
In what you and I would only call a magical or astrological kind of way. And I don't mean telling you what's going to happen to you tomorrow. Right. Right. I'm talking about wisdom across nature's time.
That's what she's capturing. And um bring that passage up one more time. And um this is how she's able Go ahead. Give me the next one. This is how she's able to affect her art. Now to you that doesn't sound incredible because you know um we know when eclipses are going to happen because uh you know somebody did the math and we have it all in record. Realize for the Greek that you're going to be looking at the people who are working then are the ones who are deriving
This knowledge. The working of science is absolutely gorgeous and it's coming to us through mother Greek. There is music involved. She is a singer. This is high-tech people. And when we get into the time traveling stuff, it's going to blow your mind. In order for you to comprehend vocabulary
Concepts that I'm going to pull out of their air and are going to blow your mind, you're going to have to know these letters. Get to know the alphabet. Get to know the alphabet so that you can look at those letters comfortably and we can work on our pronunciation that is artificial and only partially correct
To understand this sexy sexy gorgeous Greek.
Let's have a Can we try a viewer joining? We may dive. Chewy says, "Okay, here's what we'll do. We're about to dive in our power. So, let's set this up for next time. Here's what I'd like to do. Um, was Hannah here today?
Um, Hannah, I want you to email Chewy and Chewy will email you a key. And next time, which will be Friday, at the same time, um, we'll have you at the end at the maybe 45 minutes into it. We'll have you in there. I want to talk to you and your experiences in the course, things that you're looking for, things that you're interested in. so that um we can start to form a classroom environment. I know there's several thousand of you right of the attendees who will be here
Live. I know there are hundreds of you. Okay, what I right now the first time I'm just going to randomly pick Hannah cuz you know, boom, let's do it. Hannah, I'll see you Friday. And then if we can we can start bringing in more people more students people to ask questions. And Chewy said look a ton of people right. Oh Josh is there and Victoria is there and Sar is there and Nicole Joseph. Oh we got a Josephus some baby. Ah Maryanne. Love it. Jiminy Cricut.
I'm gonna get myself Jiminy Cricut. Right. Fantastic people. Um, we'll we'll just have to go down the list. Um, now hopefully Chewy has been given full authority to use her bowcaster on anyone who is infiltrating.
And what am I talking about people? This happened in my classrooms. When you offer classes to the public, creeps infiltrate you who don't really want to be there. They want to be there to dissuade or disguise something or tell some just to plant some [\\h__\\h] from somebody else who's competing against you for time people's attention. It's an abomination, but it's something, you know, I'm Ronin. I can I deal with [\\h__\\h] on the outside. That's my That's what I That's what I do, baby. So Chewy has
Full authority to bocast anyone who gets on there and starts trying to be, you know, um, somebody who's not really at the university to learn. You know what I mean? Somebody who's there to disrupt and to cause problems. Do you mean I have people infiltrate my classes? Yes, I do. I do. It's terrible. Students come to me and say, "Hey, you know what this person is doing?" So, um, Chewy is the guardian. And I like this format. You know what? You know what? And since we
Have the largest ancient Greek class on the planet, people can people can just follow us. Thank you for coming. Yes, we'll see you Friday. Be ready, Hannah. And we'll it'll we'll be a little bit rough on the tech to start with, but we'll smooth it out. We'll see you Friday morning. Please reread your introduction and don't let the accents punch you in the face, okay? Don't let it it's not going to they're not going to stop you if you don't understand them now. It's not going to stop you, right?
You'll you'll learn. You'll learn. And by the way, the accents are wrong, right? All right. Thank you for coming. Please follow the akidna and the horror because she is ling looming large on your horizon. Hail Satan
