This show is about restoring the pronunciation of Ancient Greek. To reproduce objectively and faithfully is quite impossible and hardly the point; our goal is rather to approach fidelity first by adhering to a roadmap laid by scholars and secondly by pronouncing with emotion and affect where needed.
While our goal is to build a catalog of Greek narrations reaching back to Homer, in these first months the focus will favor Aristotle decidedly.

Customer Reviews
A great way to hear
Listening to Mr. Harrison speak his essay is a wonderful way to understand how Greek should be heard. Learning a language like Greek has more challenges as it is not a common language.
With these podcasts, I can hear the correct tone & inflection. It has helped me very much .
