Extractions: Description of Greece, Book II: Corinth Pausanias, reputedly born in Lydia, was a Greek traveler (as well as Greece he also visited Asia Minor, Syria, Palestine, Egypt, Macedonia, Epirus) during height of Roman rule. His most important work is the Description of Greece [Periegesis Hellados], a sort of tourist guidebook, which remains an invaluable text on ancient ruins. The Description of Greece survives in ten books in the form of a tour of Greece starting in Attica. The first book seems to have been completed after 143 CE, but before 161CE. No event after 176CE is mentioned in the work. Pausanias begins his description of each city with a synopsis of its history followed by an account of the monuments in topographical order. He also discusses local daily life, ceremonial rituals, legend and folklore. His main concentration is on artistic workd from the glories of classical Greece, especially religious art and architecture. That he can be relied on for building and works which have since disappeared is shown by the accuracy of his descriptions of buildings which do survive. For at Athens he discusses the pictures, portraits, and inscriptions recording the laws of Solon; the great gold and ivory statue of Athena in the Parthenon; and the monuments to famous men and of Athenians who died in battle.

Extractions: OF GREEK It does not appear to be generally known what factors and circumstances led to the so-called "scientific" pronunciation of Greek. All started with a practical joke played on Erasmus by the Swiss scholar Loritus of Glarus. Later, however, Erasmus found out the trick played on him, so he desisted from using the pronuntiation he had proposed, but his error finally succeeded in ousting the Greek pronunciation of Greek. The article exposes throughly the evolution of the pronunciation of Greek since the origins of the language. 1. The Problem On being taught how to pronounce Greek words, the student of New Testament Greek is told that he is learning to pronounce the language not in the Modern Greek fashion, which is a late development, but in the way in which ancient Greeks used to pronounce it. A dichotomy is thus made between ancient and modern pronunciation of Greek, and the student is often given the impression that his pronunciation of Greek would be identical or almost identical with the way the great objects of his study Paul, Luke, John pronounced it, and to all intents and purposes identical or very similar to the way Greeks such as Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle sounded it in Vth and IVth century Athens. This pronunciation is presented as the scientific pronunciation of Greek in contradistinction to the Modern Greek pronunciation

Extractions: Version: $Revision: 3.1-FINAL $ It has been quite a while since I could devote any time at all to the FAQ for humanities.classics, ne'e sci.classics. Now that Netcom is going the way of all flesh, I am going to step aside as the maintainer, and offer it to anyone with the fortitude to take it beyond the 20th Century CE. Should you think you are interested in taking it on, reply to this posting and I will introduce you to the official *.answers FAQ maintainers, without whose approval you will not be able to post new and exciting versions of the FAQ. Thank you all for your contributions over the years: The original readers of sci.classics, the newer coterie in humanities.classics, and all those who stopped by with a request for a translation or an explanation, who very often engendered long, erudite discussions of Classical topics.

That Corinthus was a son of Zeus I have never known anybody say seriously except the majority of the Corinthians. Eumelus, the son of Amphilytus, [8th cent. B.C.] of the family called Bacchidae, who is said to have composed the epic poem, says in his Corinthian History (if indeed the history be his) that Ephyra, the daughter of Oceanus, dwelt first in this land; that afterwards Marathon, the son of Epopeus, the son of Aloeus, the son of Helius (Sun), fleeing from the lawless violence of his father migrated to the sea coast of Attica; that on the death of Epopeus he came to Peloponnesus, divided his kingdom among his sons, and retuned to Attica; and that Asopia was renamed after Sicyon, and Ephyraea after Corinthus. [2.1.2] Corinth is no longer inhabited by any of the old Corinthians, but by colonists sent out by the Romans. This change is due to the Achaean League.
