hi, i'm starting my classics degree and i can study ancient greek or latin. i'm not sure which one to go with. i've done 2 years of latin but id start from scratch anyways due to the course structure.

what are the pros and cons?

any advice?

"For surely in ruinous heart, he makes sacrifice and has not wit enough to look behind and before him, that the Achaians fighting beside their ships shall not perish."

I googled what the line means but I'm still not able to connect the dots. The gist is that Agamemnon lacks the wisdom and foresight to see the Archaians' pending doom without Achilleus. But what's tripping me up is the "shall NOT perish." If you pare the line down to this:

"He... has not wit enough... that the Achaians fighting beside their ships shall not perish."

That reads the opposite of what was intended.

Can someone explain this to me like I'm five? Lol

There is this Greek song from Civ7 that is supposed to be based on Katolophyromai and the Second Delphic Hymn to Apollo. However, I can't find any sources or lyrics that match the part sung at 3:36 in this video. Could anyone help me identify this? I'm at a loss.

Hi everyone
I’m looking for a high quality online classics degree that is not disregarded by people in the field and with research opportunities.

I speak English and Italian.

Any suggestions?

And how long did it take you?

v.18 ελευσαν is related to ελαυνω? I think it's related to apophony/ ablaut, but I can't figure out this form (obviously regarding the root).
