So many people even smart people misunderstand by free speech..free speech is not free.. it's a payed service..more money you have the more free speech 🙏🙏 that's why social media is free for you..but have to pay to be Heard..
It is very difficult to understand. Your hesitation, tour coff and the lack of clarity on the speech makes this very difficult to understand and follow. You have to improve on your presentations and any university should have a training course on oratory and effective communication. I hope you have a transcription of this presentation.
Beware, this is not a novel. The more you know about Greek mythology the more you realize the connection with human psychology (see Karl Joung or better Joseph Campbell on the archetypes and comparative mythology) And as above so below the connection of the character and archetypes of the gods you start realizing they are not metaphorically "in heaven" they are really in heaven as they are the 7 most important celestial bodies and the stars. The more you know about astronomy the more you understand Ovid's poems as the first two chapters describes perfectly how heavens works and the impact on the earth. He speaks about global warming.
Sister you will help me. I'm in a lot of trouble in the family. One in my family. I can't earn any income for three months, I will benefit a lot if you give me some money. God bless you
Mary, my 6 month son loves when your series on Ancient Rome comes on RU-vid. He always smiles at you speaking! I also enjoy your commentary and insight immensely. Keep at it!
Kairete. To say 'Thank you' for such an incredibly magnificent achievement seems poor return, but from an amateur theologian and enthusiast (who inevitably studied classics for many years at school but majored in Chemistry), 'Thank you!' I pre-ordered your new Lexicon as soon as it appeared on-line as on-the-way using a gift token. It has been a true delight to use it when reading through the recent Tyndale House's NT and alongside it Ann Nyland's The Source translation. To be able to see the range of meanings of so many Koine Greek words has led to greater insight and truer understanding of many NT passages. I have had it by me for two years now and have thoroughly enjoyed perusing the pages. On a personal note I am sorry that you did not reference the LXX, but then we can't have everything! A marvellous resource which as you say will benefit many generations of students to come. Again, Thank you.
John Chadwick's book "The Decipherment of Linear B" first piqued my lifelong curiosity about Cretan scripts. The death of Michael Ventris at such an early age was truly a very sad loss for the study of ancient Mediterranean scripts and languages. But personally the one I REALLY want to see much more progress in is Etruscan. So much is already known about its structure but not the language itself. Hopefully somewhere in Etruria there is a large cache of inscriptions still waiting to be discovered!
My greatest hope is that Emperor Claudius' supposed Etruscan dictionary comes out of the carbonized scrolls in Herculaneum. It's a long shot sure, but man, would that be an incredible find. And maybe it would come with his histories of Etruia and Carthage as well!
Little & Scott was also nearly a complete kidnapping of an earlier work by a single German scholar from Leipzig circa 1791. L & Scott was a little lazy as a work of “original scholarship.” Too much “Alice in Wonderland?”
I was able to get a copy of a beautiful 1858 edition of the Greek-English lexicon, so after watching this I have a much deeper appreciation for it. Thank you for keeping Classics alive!
What you academics need is to split up your lecture, as academics, do the research, put together the research and present it to be as a lecture, and then hire a professional speaker, one who has a voice and a continuation of word for lecturing not a bunch of F ends and buds, and owes things like that, it ruins, the whole lecture professional lecture.
Linear A predates any concept of Greek or Hellenic civilization and as a major influence on Linear B one could easily argue Greek and Hellenic are late Cretan or Cycladic.
@@mrjones2721 Minoan language is unknown therefore one couldn't prove/disprove your statement. Linear B is decendant from Creatan Linear A therefore "Greek" writing is a descendant of Createan Linear A.
@@bluelithium9808 We can read Linear A inscriptions, we just don’t know what they mean. Seeing the sounds and structure of the language, we know that the language of Linear A was not related to the language of Linear B.
