If you follow this account, I will send you a Greek poem I will write for you. I teach Ancient Greek for a fee. I will also predict the future for a fee.
"Oh city-holding Pallas: he sings of your pure sanctuary and your river and the river Oanus which runs by, and the lake close by." ὦ πολιάοχε Παλλάς, ἀείδει μὲν ἄλσος ἁγνόν τὸ τεὸν ποταμόν τε Ὤανον ἐγχωρίαν τε λίμναν Pindar, Olympian 5.10-11

"Water is best," Pindar says. Perhaps turning to the Sun, toward the light, pitches the head back in repose to observe the possibilities of freedom from the corporeal, the connection to the investigation of which is our birthright, especially those sensitive... Sky King.
Do what you love anon.
No matter how hard you work, Schliemann is still way ahead. He wrote 60,000 letters, 18 diaries and a dozen books, he learned 20 languages and travelled the world (not to mention Troy, Mykenae, Orchomenos and all his business ventures in Germany, the United States and Russia).
Pursuing her, he saw too that land that lies beyond the cold North wind. τὰν μεθέπων ἴδε καὶ κείναν χθόνα πνοιαῖς ὄπιθεν βορέα ψυχροῦ· Pindar, Olympian 3.31-2.

Many Founding Fathers wrote under pseudonyms Pseudonyms afforded the protection needed to write things that were controversial, to engender debate over things they didn't themselves believe in, and to encourage focus on ideas over reputations Thread of their known pseudonyms🧵
Great post for music appreciators. I’m going to listen.
How did Mozart hear his own music at home in Salzburg? This recording provides the answer, as it was made not only in the house in which he lived but also with the clavichord that he used to compose Die Zauberflote, La clemenza di Tito and the Requiem.
English, German, Ancient Greek. This is what I shall focus on. And I don't want to post any more excerpts in translation. I am going to share only the original text.
I am going to seek out someone who can proclaim my writings in a wonderful, beautiful way on street corners.
"Eurydamas of Cyrene won the boxing contest. He had his teeth knocked out, but he swallowed them to prevent his opponent from realizing what had happened." Aelian, Historical Miscellany 10.19.
"One must always mind one's measure: never stray past all of what it should be." χρὴ δὲ κατ᾿ αὐτὸν αἰεὶ παντὸς ὁρᾶν μέτρον. Pindar, Pythian 2.34.
"...And second, that deep within the hidden chambers of that wife, Ixion tried to consort with Zeus' Hera..." ὅτι τε μεγαλοκευθέεσσιν ἔν ποτε θαλάμοις Διὸς ἄκοιτιν ἐπειρᾶτο. Pindar, Pythian 2.33-34
"His two offenses which bring his suffering: A Hero, he brought spilled family blood to mortals first, and cunningly..." αἱ δύο δ᾿ ἀμπλακίαι φερέπονοι τελέθοντι· τὸ μὲν ἥρως ὅτι ἐμφύλιον αἷμα πρώτιστος οὐκ ἄτερ τέχνας ἐπέμειξε θνατοῖς Pindar, Pyth. 2.30-2
If you were a popular guy in Ancient Greece, people would commission the likes of Simonides to write a nice epitaph for you (epigram 7.348):
"But Hubris drove him to an arrogant infatuation, and he quickly suffered rightly: his, a horrible, unworldly torment." ἀλλά νιν ὕβρις εἰς ἀυάταν ὑπεράφανον ὦρσεν· τάχα δὲ παθὼν ἐοικότ᾿ ἀνήρ ἐξαίρετον ἕλε μόχθον. Pindar, Pythian 2.28-30
"In his maddened mind Ixion began to love Hera, who was Zeus' wife, and meant to give him many beautiful acts of love." μαινομέναις φρασίν Ἥρας ὅτ᾿ ἐράσσατο, τὰν Διὸς εὐναὶ λάχον πολυγαθέες· Pindar, Pythian 2.26-28
"Ixion learned this clearly. For having secured for himself a sweet life aside the blessed children of Kronos, his fortune did not last long." ἔμαθε δὲ σαφές. εὐμενέσσι γὰρ παρὰ Κρονίδαις γλυκὺν ἑλὼν βίοτον, μακρὸν οὐχ ὑπέμεινεν ὄλβον Pindar, Pythian 2.25-26
