>> Hello Madelaine, are you there? Here I am. Hello. All right, fantastic. I'm sorry to take so long.
Oh, you're all good. Okay, good. Fantastic. How do you feel?
All right. >> [snorts] >> I Yeah.
Your audio's a little bit messed up, so I'm sure it'll it'll come in a sec. >> Oh, there we go. Yeah, how are you? Oh, I'm doing all right. Fantastic. Are you flooded? Are you concerned? Are you How do you Just tell me how you feel. Are you mad? >> I'm a little I'm mad. Yeah, I'm a little overwhelmed with all these things, all these endings, and uh yeah. Okay. Okay, good. Still overwhelmed, that's good. It's That's pretty normal. You should be, right? And you wouldn't be normal
You wouldn't be human if you weren't. Um tell me something. I'm going to give you an option. You can We can either do what I said yesterday and just go through some review and casually discuss and confirm things up, or you can jump right into the exam if you want to. That's up to you. I'm going to let you call that.
Well, could we do some exercises and then go into the exam? Yes, let's do that. Where do you want to start? Um
We can do the review. Okay. >> Translate on. I think these are on Yeah, 290. Okay. 291. Do you want to try those, or do you want to do some unit exercises? What would you like to do? Um Yeah, 290 would be good. Okay. All right. Uh you want to start with number one? Sure. Okay, go ahead and read it. Let's translate it together.
>> All right, good. Good. Why don't you tell me what you can make of it so far, you know, just kind of talk through it. Um so
Do to be wrong or to do wrong Um
And then there's boy you t which is do doing to do something which is shameful.
That t t l u t o n e l u t h i n or e l s l a n t, t e t l u t o n e s l a n, which is wish to wish
And to um to die or um >> [snorts]
So in the very beginning is the
Um and there's man and thris is
Yeah, so let me jump in and help a little bit. No, cuz you're you're bringing it all together. You're bringing it all together with the with >> is the is that so that Yeah, so you got a what? You got a result clause there? Uh yeah. Yeah. Mhm. >> So it's Right? So Yeah, just look at the Do what you're doing. Look at the grammar. So yeah, the hoste plus Where's the verb with the hoste? Um yeah, h uh
Uh a d k t s t Um that's it Hang on before we get to that. That's similar to that bit. I'm talking about the hoste there. So yeah, this is your result clause. You've got a result clause here with hoste. And it's going to have a verb with it. It's got to either be t e l u t o n or e s l a n. Try e s l a n. e s l a >> Yeah, as it's verb, it's a natural result, right?
Oh, wish Oh, it's it's infinitive, right? So >> to wish Yeah. Um [snorts] to wish >> So as to So as to want or to wish, yeah. So that so as to wish to die to t e l u t o n to complete Yeah. >> [laughter] >> to complete Okay. Yeah.
Yeah, we'll die, right? Yeah. That
And we've got an accusative, a subject accusative of this infinitive, right? The t e l u t o n is the first in that hoste clause. That's a complex clause. The hoste clause so that, right? Something was happening to such a degree. H u t o s a d k t h u t o s a d k t to such a degree was the city maltreated
By Socrates who was doing shameful things that it the city t e l u t o n, that's why it's feminine. So that s it, right? The city e s l a n wanted, right? What did it want? It wanted that e k i n t o n a n d r a, that this guy t e l u t o n finish. It wanted this guy to die. Yeah. You see that? Yeah. So, just look it over again knowing that that's the structure. Look it over again and say, "Okay, so this city Omen
Right? Who does ADK so mistreated by this guy Socrates who's doing ice crap doing terrible things dirty things, right? So, we don't even want to talk about in public. whole state town 10 so that it the city wanted to him to die. Good. Good. And what did they tell you? Yeah, dative of personal agent, right? Okay, good. Attribute of participle? Okay. And clause of natural result subject Okay, fine. They're just reviewing for you. How How about What What else would you like to do? Um number two looks okay. You want to try that one?
Sure, we can do that. Okay. Um
Host um Actually Actually look at three. Three's a little shorty. Do a little shorty for a break. Okay. Agathon may point taste.
Okay. Epsilon port team master.
Look at the parentheses underneath it. This is a circumstance.
Past general conditional sentence. Okay. Which one was the past general again? That was what? What was the protasis and apodosis? Do you remember? Is it like Was it did did uh It's a did did, right? Yeah. Right? Yeah. Okay. >> So
May point taste is to do. So, that would be um
Did did not did not do good. Good? Uh not one not to not want when Wait. Paul Tate at any any time sometime. Do you just put sometime there? Sometime. Okay. I didn't know cuz it didn't have an accent.
Right. It's the one that doesn't. So, it's got the it's you know, it's just sometime. Okay. Um When there's a word Let me just stop you there. There's a word in Greek teeth. tau iota sigma Yeah, tau iota sigma teeth. And if it's got an accent, it's a question who. If it's just doesn't have an accent, it's just teeth by itself, it just means somebody.
So, Paul Tate's just like sometime. It lacks the accent. Sometime. So, yeah. Ooh Epsilon port team master. Port team master like um
Yeah, keep it a past general. That's okay. Keep it a past general as a did did. Oh, to done honor >> [laughter] >> to to uh did honor to win Yeah. when you honored yourself.
Yeah. So >> How about if they did not do good, there's your protasis. If they did not do good
Ooh Epsilon, they did not want team master. Oh, to honor. No, it's passive. Yeah.
To be honored um to be honored. You got it. Oh, okay. Yeah, you got it. To be honored. Good. Good. So, if they did not do good they did not want to be honored. Yeah, now the thing is Oh, [\\h__\\h] Let me check something. Oh, hang on a second. I have a really sensitive smoke alarm now. And if this thing [snorts] is not treated properly, it will smoke.
It's a functional kitchen. I'm sorry for the loud fan noise. I don't know what you mean. Okay. Good. So, it's a did did. Now, what would you expect? I'm going to try this. Should we turn it off? Okay, she can Okay. Um
What What do we expect in a past general? We expected the A plus optative followed by an imperfect. So, we got an imperfect here A Epsilon, right? Uh yeah. And if you think about it, you would translate that anyway by itself. They did not want. They did not want from Epsilon. Good. And um so, the may point taste there is just a participle serving as that A plus the optative. So, you can translate the same way. If they did not want may point taste, if they
Did not want or do, I'm sorry. If they did not do good. Okay. I'm going to turn that off. This is too annoying. Okay. If they didn't want to do good, then um what was it? They didn't want to be honored. Yeah. >> Um they didn't they didn't want to They Yeah. Good. Good. Now, look at number two and look at the parentheses first before you even look at the Greek. This is a future more vivid.
Future more vivid. Does will do. Okay. Yeah, future more vivid does will do. So, you already know where you're going to be translating the tenses. No problem. Does will do. But it says there's a hortatory subjunctive in the apodosis.
So, it's the then clause that has a hortatory. Then let us Let us. Right? If something happens, let us Right? Yeah. Right? Let us do something. So, you can see how that's kind of a future. To say let us is kind of a future thing cuz it's not happening now. Right? So, you can see why this there's a Okay, hortatory subjunctives may actually work here in a future more vivid. Good. Um and then they say there's a circumstantial participle showing cause
Introduced by hot taste. So, we're going to have a because of something. >> Because, yeah. Hot taste. Yeah. Okay. Now, read it in Greek. Now, read it in Greek. And as you read it I want you to be not paying attention to me at all. I don't give a [\\h__\\h] I'm not going to be correcting pronunciation. As you're reading it out loud to yourself and as you're hearing it, I want you to be thinking about its structure. All right.
Who's on to on the matos to so fool axio say
Agamemnon to tone boat is staying police pulling hot taste tain pantone Eles theory on pull action ta pull action Okay. >> [clears throat] >> Um There's my hot taste.
All right. horses whom ever Yes. So whom ever um Whoever. Not whom. I'm sorry. It's a It's a horse. So, whoever. It's a subject, right? All right. host this on um the name [clears throat] >> [snorts] >> the name um
Anyway, uh at axio say which uh is to
Be worthy. Uh uh axiothe to Okay. Um
You're right there. You've got it. You're right. It's who Yeah, no, you're right. It's Right, it's a does will do. So, this is the does part. So, host whoever Yeah, whoever is axiothe. Whoever and that's an aorist. I want you to notice that axiothe Right, is an aorist. What is that thing? So
Um Is it subjunctive? You mean may so may may An aorist. aorist aorist passive
S- aorist passive subjunctive All right. Right.
May think of as worthy may think >> Yeah, whoever Yeah, make it passive. Whoever is thought worthy. >> Whoever is thought Okay, is thought worthy. Right. So >> Worthy of what? Worthy of what? Axiothe takes the genitive. Worthy of something. Worthy to onomatos to sophu.
Of of the name of the wise. Yeah. Exactly. Worthy of >> [clears throat] >> of being called wise. >> [laughter] >> The name of all >> Yeah, yeah. Yeah, or [clears throat] you could you could say a wise name to whoever's worthy of an a wise name, right? Right. Yeah.
Agagomen ago [clears throat] agaga agomen um
Ago uh to lead right ago Yeah, from ago Do you Do you remember the Yeah, do you remember the principal parts of ago? They're really weird. Ago axo and that third was agagon with an eta on the front. But that But that eta is an epsilon augmented alpha. So, here's the Here's it without its augment. Because it's subjunctive, right? Look at that omen. Look at that omen. That's subjunctive with that omega in there. That's aorist, right? Mhm.
So, that would be the hortatory subjunctive. So, it'd be like Yes. Let us lead. Good. um touton May we Oh, uh touton this these >> Yeah, this person. Let us lead this person. person um >> asteen bolen Where are we going to lead him? asteen to into the city Yeah, and why are we going to do that? hote because Uh-huh. uh
Or at all all of everybody Yeah, [clears throat] because what? all Because what? Is it guarded? Go all because
Of the guarded freedom or uh Almost. Almost. Notice it says in the parentheses it says you've got a circumstantial participle showing cause introduced by hote. So, the hote is because and the phulaxonta is in the accusative case because he guarded because he guarded. It's referring back to the touton. Right? That participle phulaxonta is like an adjective that's harkening back to the touton. Because he guards the eleutherian, the freedom. panton Yeah. of everyone Yeah, cuz he guards the freedom of everyone, right? Yeah. Yeah.
Whoever's thought worthy of the name of wisdom, let us lead this one into the city. Let's bring him into the city. Because he's a guardian of the just of the freedom of all. Okay. Um what's most important is that you're seeing what's going on in the parentheses. Let's do it this time. Number four. Okay. >> And look at Look at what it says in the parentheses, future more vivid. What are we going to expect with a future more vivid? eon plus a subjunctive Yeah, plus a subjunctive.
Um and then uh future, right? Good. So, we already know what to expect. What else What else? Just so we know just so we know what to expect. Look, they say there's going to be a double accusative with poiein. So, there's going to be two objects. You do something something. So, okay, fine. There's an infinitive with passive of keleuo.
Right? To be to order to do something, right? So, to be ordered to do something and forget about the disyllabic enclitic. It doesn't Okay. Okay. >> Go Read it and as you're reading it again, think about the conditional. Go. Okay.
And hoide hoi politei hupo ton nice
Uh nesu politeon en keleustai stosi keleus keleusosi
Ooh sosthais etai he demokratia pote Okay.
Eon hoide Hoide means the list and if Okay. Anyway, um the ice cream
Uh Yeah, what is that? That's a Oh, is that a future >> can do this. You can identify it. You can identify it. um Well, because it's future more vivid, I'm going to assume that it's uh a futu- future a but so keleusosi
Some kind of what are you expecting? Some kind of future? Yeah. um and so like an imper- imperfect, right? Um no, hang on a second. We're getting Yeah, the future that's going to come is going to come later. Oh, okay. >> for keleusosi, that's that's an eon plus a subjunctive. Now, what kind of subjunctive is it? Is it a present subjunctive? Is it an aorist subjunctive? Which one of those? an aorist because Good. It's an aorist. The principal parts of keleuo are tough. Keleuo keleuso
Keleusa Yeah. Yeah, let's uh Go to Go to the back of your book. First one there is winner. Oh, [\\h__\\h] You're going to beat me. You're going to beat me. Yeah. Oh, you always beat me. Go find it. As soon as you find it, start reading off the principal parts. And I will keleuo keleuso ekeleusa
Keleuka keleusmai >> [snorts] >> K Lu Sa okay Yeah. >> K Lu Sa K Lu Sa okay Yeah, so which one is this? A six principle verb. Uh-huh, so it's aorist. You were right. It's aorist. Good job. Right? Okay, so we have at on plus the subjunctive followed by the future so they say ty. Now, you should be able to translate it. It's does will do.
Okay, so that would [clears throat] be the does Uh, does Uh
You got it. And it's an aorist, right? And it's an aorist, but I want you to recognize it looks like it's an active, but it's an aorist passive with that theta. So, okay. Okay, just m- m- to be to be ordered, right? They're going to be ordered, yeah. Which sounds weird, but yeah, okay. To be ordered. So
These citizens is polite to say Good. Yes. Um okay. Uh um
If they are what? If they're ordered to say it. Oh, if they're ordered Good. Um
See the hupo? That's that gen- that's that hupo with a genitive of the agent. If they're ordered by By Oh, yeah. My brain is like an order that. Um by sh- shame shame Yes. By shameful what? By shameful what? Go all the way to the end of the line to pick up that polite on. Uh army?
>> [Laughter] >> Polite on citizens. Citizens. Citizens. Okay, I'll stick with that. Um Naisu This naisu And yeah, then you have another genitive packed in there. The citizens taste the taste naisu. Naisu is island? Yes. Is it of the island? Yes, right? Right, so
Right, if these citizens Yeah. This are If they If they say stay Oh, yeah. Ordered. Um If this are If these uh citizens are ordered by the citizens of the island Yeah, by the by the ice grown citizens of the island. The shame the shameful
Uh-huh. citizens of the island Good. Um
Um to do something? >> Good. Good. To do what? And here's your double accusative. To do kaka. bad Yeah. Bad things to xenos. to xenos to x- And uh Strangers to the stranger. Xenos stranger. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So they would say to Yeah, we would say to the strangers. They would say to do the strangers bad. Okay. [laughter] Right. Yeah, because they're kind of strange. Okay. Um >> [Laughter]
>> If all of that happens, then if all of that happens, then ooh so they say ty. Ooh so they say ty. So they say ty. They so say ty. So they say ty. Oh god. So they say ty. So they say so so they say sa. So Oh, that's to save. So be to they will not be saved. Yeah, what will not be saved? Hey democratia. The democ- the democ-
Democracy Um The democracy will not be saved ever. >> Will not be saved. Yeah, ever. Yeah, polite you can ever. Good. Good. Fantastic. Look at that. I mean it's a big long ass sentence if and it's a little bit redundant, you know. But looking at it again and just as I'm saying it I want you to look over it and realize oh god that's exactly all we did was unlock the formula for what that that thing was, right? If the citizens citizens
Yeah, are ordered by the shameful citizens of the island to do evil to the strangers the democracy will not be saved ever. Yeah. Yeah. Oh god, I like that. Okay, how about number five? Look at it real quick. Tell me what it is. You can cheat and look at the parentheses.
Um uh past contrafactual conditional Past contrafactual. Which What is an What is What is in a past contrafactual? A plus what? What plus on? It
That one's A plus aorist aorist plus on, right? Correct. Correct. And that's So that's what we've got. And how do What's the translation formula? Um
Would have done Yes, had would have. Had would have. So this is going to be a if had then would have. So good. Now just take it apart. I'm going to shut up and let you do it. All right.
E K Me Tax Sa Sa On Is Tas Ex Pa Gas Hoi Polemoi
Ouk An Po Te Ka Kon Epoi E Sa Te Pois E Pois E Sa Te To See Beas Toos Adikes Andas
Um So Ta E Ta Sa Te Es E Ta Sa Sa On Tas The Sa Okay, so the
If indeed Um they did not And they
Uh not had not appointed That would be active. Make it passive. Okay. Um
If they didn't If they had not been appointed. >> had not been Okay. had not been appointed
Into whom who whom Is it Tas Into the hex into the hex phalangas. What are those phalangas? Us Is that
It's just a phalanx. It's a phalanx. A group soldiers. A line yeah. I don't know. [clears throat] It's like weird. You can try because it's Yeah, yeah, because it's in the plural, you can just say into six phalanxes or phalanges.
Yeah, if they had not been >> So, six. Okay. Cool. If they had not been appointed into six phalanges, and then it just gives you the subject. Who Who is Who wasn't appointed? The so- the soldier. No, hoi polemoi imperoi. Hoi imperoi is your subject. Those what? >> So, those who imperoi
Uh who were experienced. Yes. And what are they experienced in? They're experienced in polemoi.
Army? War. Polemoi. Right? Okay. War. Right? >> [snorts] >> Good. War. Right?
So, if those experienced in war had not been set [snorts] up in six phalanges, >> Six phalanges. Yeah, what would not have happened? Cuz it's a had would have. >> would not have gone. Huh?
Bad. Evil. Good. Um To the To whom? Who do they do the bad to? To the horsemen. Good. And and uh the adikais ontas, so the unjust uh the the
Unjust horsemen. Yeah, the horsemen who are doing unjust things, right? Yeah. Yeah. Good good good good good. Okay, perfect. Look, it's a had would have. Past contrafactual, very very well done. Now, you see, it's just a matter of the math again. Just a matter of the math. So, what is the review trying to teach you? Really, these reviews are trying to exercise the points of grammar that you're really going to find in the exam. Right? Notice how they're still focusing on conditionals. It's like, dude, seriously, right? Like, how much
Conditionals can we do? >> know. Sometimes I feel like I'm still on conditionals.
You know. Yeah. Yeah. Well, this is good. It's We're only been a couple of weeks, so it's good. Look at what's the Uh let's see. Just look at the parentheses under number six. And just look at the kind of grammar they're looking for there. The dative of respect. Okay, dative of personal agent. Uh-oh. So, you're going to have a couple of goofy datives here. Plus a circumstantial participle,
Right? And causal or temporal. Oh god, look what you're doing. So, we're dealing with those participles again. Right? That's a big deal. How to How to How to translate these participles. Okay. What about number seven? Circumstantial participle.
All right? Once again, used concessively, introduced by kai pair. Oh god, what does that kai pair mean? Yeah, right. Right? Okay. Genitive of time within which. Okay, so there's some genitives there. That's just practicing stuff you're you know, you're supposed [clears throat] to know. Look at the hortatory. Here, we're dealing with a hortatory subjunctive as well.
Good. Look, you spotted it. You spotted it, right? Uh Nice. Plus another circumstantial participle showing purpose, right? Okay, circumstantial participle showing purpose. That's all. That's all I want to know. And then finally, number eight. Attributive participle now. So, we've got a participle that's showing the attributes of something. An optative of wish they threw in. You know you're going to get something one of these independent optatives. Right? >> Yeah. Okay. A purpose clause. We've had those a while ago. They're going to throw one in for the hell of it. And then a future
Less vivid conditional sentence. This is so packed Look [laughter] at this. Look, just This is just the Here's just a future less vivid. That's it. Um What was that future less vivid again? Vivid again? What was the What was the It's a should would, but what is it's A plus what? Optative. Optative plus on. Yes, and it's a should would, right? Should would. I was Should would. Yeah. So. So, you know right away. I mean, You You go into that. You Oh, you want to try it? Go ahead. Just
Translate the should would. Hoi gardnes nikomen. The nikomen. I was just saying I was reading the wrong sentence. The nikomen should win uh would be slave. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, right? Right? I mean, all of us Right? We would be slaves. Oh god. That's beautiful. There's no problem, right? If he should win, we'll we would all be slaves. Should win. Oh god. A should would. And you knew that from analyzing the the the structure, right? So, Yeah. Okay. Okay, let's take a break now and um come back in 10 Let's see.
Let me ask you this. Would you like to do any more exercises maybe from the any of the chapters, eight, nine, or 10? Would you like to do any of those? Or do you want to now step forward and do your exam?
Um I'll try to do the exam. Let's do it. Let's do it. How much of a break do you want before we jump in? You tell me. Doesn't matter to me. I mean, we can do 10 minutes. We can 10 minutes. I'll see you at half past. Okay. Cool.
>> All right, you there? I'm here. Fantastic. Okay. Let's do this. Let's do this. Here's what I want to do. I want you to take your time. All righty. And I want you to relax and realize this is physics and we're just going to apply whatever equations we can. Go to page 293.
And I want you to look >> [snorts] >> at 1 2 3 4 5 and 6. I just want you to take a minute. 2 minutes. 3 minutes. Look at them and then I want you to pick out the first one that you want to do, please. Okay.
Two. Number two. Okay. Now, here's what I want you to do. I want you to read it out loud to yourself once. I'm just going to be listening for pronunciation. I mean, read it out loud. I'm [clears throat] going to be listening for pronunciation, but um then I want you to sit there and I want you to try to solve it. So, don't worry too much about pronunciation, but go ahead. Okay.
Polemen deimos hoia boukalous pephaiomenos
Hoi de basileis arkhenouk eslai eslai eslai
>> All right. I think I something.
Okay, you think you got it solved? Um, I yes, perhaps. Excellent. Let's hear it. Okay.
Had not have having not been educated beautifully or wait Yes, keep going. >> beautifully not did not wish to be led. On the other hand the king did not wish to lead. Um this
Did not do this Yeah, oh that's what I wrote. Um old friends because um even the people were persuaded. Um Indeed the king and queen
Did good for all the citizens. Okay. Okay, let's look at it sentence at a time. First sentence I would give a 95 96 97 somewhere in that range, right? You got that perfect home and home perfectly. Um yeah, the people, right? Because they weren't taught well they didn't want to be ruled. And on the other hand the king didn't want to rule them, right? So okay, good. That's That's a topic on that one. The next one I'd give it a low A. If we would rearrange one statement.
Look at the very opening. Houtos poieon Houtos poieomen. poieomen >> What is that poieomen? Just what is the you know, what is that thing? It's from poieo. poieo >> Right? Mhm. But Yeah, to do, right? Yeah. Mhm. >> Yeah, let's let's do houtos in such a way hoste hoste that the people and now this is the accusative subject with the infinitive. So this is where your little bit of wobble was. Yeah. >> This is the little bit of wobble that [snorts] took you from a 100 to a to a 90.
All right. peithesthai toi basilei Yeah, so they be persuaded or obey. So that the people obey Okay. >> Right? The king and what else? Here's another subject accusative. And so that the king poiein and then you translated the rest of it properly. So that the king does good things for all of the citizens. You translated that correctly. Okay. Good. Now that was two. That was an entire paragraph with two sentences. Well done. There are six exercises. You'll be doing three. Pick your second exercise, please. Um
Fantastic. Read it out loud and then take your time. Okay.
Hous sulotair teige maseoi sousasa phulaxais
Anton adelphonton hupo ton exthron klopais graphenta
Oh daughter You By the way, you picked one that's very difficult. This is a nine out of 10 [clears throat] on nine out of 10 on difficulty. So Oh great. you're challenging yourself. Excellent.
Here's hupo. Um and here's phulaxais.
>> [Sighs and gasps] >> to the gods they may protect your brother. In order that the indictment of theft is hated.
Okay. Okay, I'm going to ask you one question. Underneath this underneath this Greek is printed the question. What kind of conditional is this? Um
You you picked us you picked an incredibly difficult Yeah, um Yeah. You get you get points you get points for Beats me. I was trying it. >> [laughter] >> Well, I know I know this is on. So, I assume that the that it's like um
Like a potential optative or something for for lock size. Probably some relative pronoun. Um Okay. Uh Know that it is a conditional and that >> [clears throat] >> the protasis has a substituted participle. Thoosasa
Is a substituted participle. So, this is Yeah, I could I had no idea. It's like And in addition to that in addition to that this is difficult because they should have put a comma after thoosasa.
That's your if clause. Everything up to thoosasa is your if clause. Your then clause is phoolaxis on. So, this is a participle plus a an optative plus on. So, we have substituted an A plus plus an optative for for this conditional. Okay, so do you get what it is? It's a future less vivid.
Okay. Yeah. >> So, know knowing it's a future less vivid now I want you to try to translate it again. Okay. >> and use an if clause for it but use exactly what the future less vivid >> [clears throat] >> uses. So, it would be >> translation. Go ahead.
If you should Good. make a sacrifice Good. >> gods. Good. Um
They would protect your brother. You would guard your brother. >> Oh guard. They may they would guard. Okay. Guard. Yeah. They would guard your brother. >> It's a it's a second ice is the second person singular. You would guard your brother. Right? And this description you're right you said it in in the end but look at the tone adelphone tone graphenta.
Your brother the one charged >> One indicted. >> Oh, yeah. Okay. The one >> And in indicted Who's he indicted by?
By the enemy hated uh the the echthron. The enemies. Good. And the klope is is the charge he's indicted on. Indicted on a indicted on a charge of what? Of theft. Right. On a charge of theft. Okay. So, look what you did. You picked the hardest because this is a disguised it's a disguised conditional
With a participle that's taken up the first the protasis, right? Ins- instead of a [clears throat] an A plus an optative. So, nice. Once you notice that once you corrected it once you recognized it as a future less vivid you were able to translate it then exactly as it should. I mean before you walk through the words and I can see you've got your vocabulary you've got all the words but you're not engaging the fact that it's an actual conditional. You're not really making it clear to me. So, I in your performance I
Want to see you make that clear. And that's why I say, "Okay, stop. Now make this correction in your calculation." And all of a sudden your results are correct. So, you know how it is on a physics exam when you go in and you get you do the calculations properly up until a point and then because you've made an error it throws off the rest of your calculation. So, that's what I would be doing as a classics instructor. I would be saying, "Okay, now you've got this. Now make
This slight adjustment and see what the rest comes out to." And boom you get the right calculation. That's only because that's an ex- extremely difficult um example. You picked the you picked the uh the hardest. Congratulations. I would give you a pre-correction an 80 on that post-correction I'd give you a 90 92-ish. Okay, so it's in the range of what we need uh post-correction. You have another that you should do one to six there. Um and um yeah, go ahead and pick from those one to six cuz there's an there's enough goodness there for you to get another good one out of them.
Um uh maybe number four. And then I'll try number Four. Okay. Uh yep. Okay, go. You got it. Number four. Take your time. You know what? Don't pronounce it. We don't need I don't need to correct your pronunciation. I want you now to pretend that you're in a classroom. You just got this one thrown in front of you and I want you to do it. Don't feel like you got to talk at all. I don't want to you don't have to let me hear anything. Just
>> Well, I got it all except um well, let me give me another minute. >> [gasps]
>> Uh uh I think it's good as it's going to get for me.
I'm missing one word that I can't remember to say my >> Okay, what is the one word? Uh alisthesis. I cannot alisthesis. Yeah, that which is true, right? The real Okay, yeah. Yeah. There it is. All right, well, anyway,
All right, so indeed around the cities
Uh through the the true the true the the wisdom was not being taught
Um by not honoring the wealthy that
Here's what I want you to do with your calculations. I want you to put a comma at the end of the first line. I want you to put a comma on the end of the first line and I want you to notice dia tau. Tau is the definite article and the word that this is the definite article of is pepaideusthai way at the end. This is an articular infinitive.
This is an articular infinitive and that dia is because of. So, I want you to think of it that way. Take it Take a couple of more minutes. Take a couple of more more minutes and try to get that articular infinitive because of the what? The pepaideusthai, the may pepaideusthai.
Okay. Take a couple of minutes, try to work that out more smoothly. And remember, you're looking for an accusative subject there. Right? Of who's doing who who's doing that verb or who that verb is being done to. You need an accusative subject there. This is an articular infinitive. Dia tau may pepaideusthai. Okay, take a couple more minutes. Work on that one a little bit more. All right, so
Oh, and I forgot to mention politas but sorry, that's cur politas is citizens, not cities. Citizens. >> Citizens. Okay. All right.
Uh I tried it again. Um because of Socrates
Wisdom wasn't the wisdom wasn't not not really being taught to the citizens in order that
Who was unworthy of speaking although he wished to save democracy. Okay.
Okay, although look at the start with the ending although he wished to save democracy Kai pair ethelon tain demokratian so say exactly. Right? Although he wished to save democracy and who is this that we're talking about Demosthenes ho rhetor? So good Demosthenes the rhetorician a dikaito was treated poorly although he wanted to save the democracy right? Come on man. They treat him poorly although okay. Now let's go back to the beginning. Okay. >> And I want you to see that this first line is itself one unit. That's why they
Should have put a they should have put a comma after this. After the end of that first line. What this is an is an articular infinitive tall that article the second word plus may pepaideusthai.
So if you just translate tall may pepaideusthai it's the not having been educated. >> Yeah. Yeah. So because the not having been educated but now who's not having been educated? We need an accusative to be the subject. Because the citizens
Had not been educated peri tous alethous about the truth tois sophroisi by the wise people.
Okay. Okay. Because all of that then we're going to get something else happening. Because of all that Socrates make him the subject. On the one hand Socrates ouk etimato was not honored. He was not honored. Okay. Hupo ton eudaimonon was not honored what? Hupo ton eudaimonon. Um by the happy or wealthy. Good. He was not honored by the fortune or happy or wealthy whatever. But
>> Oh god. Sorry, that was the power. The power went out. Oh damn. Oh no. Sorry about that. Sorry about that. Okay, let me let me help you finish. I'm going to finish correcting this one. So then after that top sentence right? Because because of this lack of education in these people right? Socrates on the one hand like you said was not honored by those wealthy people.
And then Demosthenes the rhetorician was treated poorly although and then you got the rest although he wanted you know preserve the democracy. Okay. Now look at that that's one two three four lines. Mhm. And it's really wait no.
Yeah one two three it's really three but it is several it's really three sentences to be quite honest that you've got sitting there. So I want you to take that into consideration and now that your grade there would be somewhere around like an 87-ish. Okay? So look I wanted to do one last thing. One last exercise on your exam if it's a little sideling I want you to turn to page 299
And look at 299 and I want you to look at number one. I want you to look at num number one. Okay? And I want you to the only thing I'm going to say about this one is the I sometimes talk about how order doesn't matter. This one the order is not something you're going to see. The subject is near the end. The verb is in the beginning. >> Yeah, I see the ho is all down there. Yeah, but it's the same it's the same math. It's just in a jumbled order.
Right? Um and your verb is showing up right at the beginning. This is very very weird. Right? But it is possible in Greek. So I just want you to try to tackle number one. And yeah and I just want you to know there's no real tricks going on there or anything. It's just right subject verb and then All right, go ahead. Go ahead number one and you don't need to read it out loud your pronunciation is great. Just give that a shot and let me know when you're
And I'm going to interrupt for a second. The other thing that I wanted to say that I don't is remember they're giving us this Socrates a lot and the endings look a look very weird like this one Socratus. It's not going to look like a typical um genitive but it is. We are never going to be I mean unless you're reading a [\\h__\\h] ton of Plato or something um you're not going to really be dealing with these names a lot. You know Demosthenes we just had Demosthenes. I forgot to really push this home with you which I
Think I need to do. Um don't worry about these nouns that are the names. That stuff is going to come along. What's really important is that you're getting these weird third declension nouns. That's really what they're trying to do. But anyway okay. Just don't let it throw you. The forms of Socrates don't let them throw you. Okay.
The death of Socrates was announced by the priests who were doing this sacrifice. Oh, okay. Perfect. 100%. Okay. >> Okay? 100% okay? Do you see how it is >> [laughter] >> My goodness. I got to wow, unbelievable.
Do you see how it is when you're doing these lengthy sentences that have four, five, six different odd constructions or complicated constructions you try They have intentionally packed that thing more so than you would you know, reading a typical ancient Greek text. So, you're dealing with a lot of weight lifting. You're lifting a lot of weight. And when you are suddenly given a sentence that's just, you know, okay, great. This one's just straight out of it where we've got no they're not throwing any curve balls
Or anything at us. Notice how you get it like that. But that's >> Yes. Yeah, that's what you should be concentrating on. Your overall score I'd give you the same thing about an 87 to 88 89 somewhere in that range right there on the overall exam. Right? So, that is outstanding
For um intensive Greek exam. It's outstanding. Absolutely outstanding. Please keep it up. We've got to continue tomorrow. You've got to do uh unit 11 and I'm thinking if unit here's what I'd like you to do. I'm I'm going to remember I'm going to be tailoring the class according to how you're responding and I think what I'd like to do is for tomorrow I'd like to do unit 11. Only this time what I want you to do is I want you just to read through it. And then I want you to do as many
Exercises as you can. Don't study anything. Just start doing exercises and if you get through one and you think you got 60 70% of it stop. Go on go on to the next one. Okay. >> And so what we're going to do tomorrow is we're going to focus on that repetition of those exercises. Get you back and this will continue to correct your conditionals, your your results, your purpose all that kind of stuff. So, well done. Well done. Um
I hope that you I hope that you feel beaten down but uh like um vindicated because your machine is working. Your analysis is working. Right? So, keep it up. What do you What What do you How do you feel about the about making it through unit 10? Um it was hard. It's just a lot and you know, I don't have it all memorized but I can like work my way through it and I think that's good, you know. And the more exercises we do together the the better you'll work it out. So,
Emphasis on exercises tomorrow. I want to get through as many of those as we can. Okay. Cool. Okay. All right. Do you have any questions for me?
I don't think so. Um >> Okay. exercises Okay. I may drag you on Lady Babylon Friday if that's okay. Yeah, that's fine. That sounds fun. >> Fantastic. A little bit of extra extra class time. Fantastic. Okay, I'll see you tomorrow. Congratulations on making it through the this exam. There's only a couple more and we'll be there, okay? Sounds good. Awesome. Okay.
