Αρχαία Ελληνική (Ancient Greek): λόγος ἀρχαίος, ἀεὶ ἀληθής. οὐκέτι φίλους αἵρει ὁ ἵμερος πάσιν ἀφανής  ἀλλάγη μίκρα, ὀλίγην φαίη, δέος καὶ φιλία, τέρας σὺν καλῇ, αὕτη ἔσθ' ἡ ζωή ἀεὶ ταὔτ' ἐστίν, ἀεὶ θαυμαστά, ἀεί ὡς παλαιά, ἀεὶ βέβαια ὡσπὲρ ἡλίος  λόγον ἀρχαίον ᾅσεθ' ἡ θέα. πάνθ' ἃ ἐφιστῇς μάλιστ' ἀλλάξει ὄντως μάγευμα ὡς ὁ ἡλίος ὕψιλος φαίνει, λόγος ἀρχαίος, τό πρώτον μέλος, τέρας σύν καλῇ English Ancient tale, always true. Not yet friends, longing seizes them, unseen by all. A small change, one might say little. Fear and friendship, the beast with the beauty, this is life. It is always the same, always wonderful, always as before, always sure as the sun The goddess will sing the ancient tale. True magic will change all you know. As the sun appears above, ancient tale, the first song, the beast with the beauty.

Ancient Greek Picture Dictionary - Read online for free. This is a highly first draft of a picture dictionary for ancient Greek. There are lots of features missing, which I do have locally but am not ready to share quite yet. The idea here is that one can create a visual tool for a language that has not traditionally had such tools. The other idea is that this tool can be made using authentic materials (i.e. pictures of locations and cultural artifacts that directly relate to ancient Greece).

The Odyssey is an ancient Greek epic poem attributed to Homer. It centres on the Greek hero Odysseus and his long journey home after the fall of Troy. It takes Odysseus ten years to return from Troy to his home island of Ithaca. This map tale describes Odysseus's epic voyage and the many foes he meets upon the way. Scholars, both ancient and modern, are divided as to whether or not any of the places visited by Odysseus are real, even so the locations shown in this tale give a good sense of Odysseus's journey around the Peloponnese and the Ionian Islands.

What does '2001: a Space Odyssey' have to do with Odysseus? How does Brad Pitt's Achilles in 'Troy' match up to Homer's original hero? And is Arnold Schwarzenegger the new Heracles? This collection of video animations and audio discussions examines how the heroes of Greek mythology have been represented in popular culture, from ancient times to the modern day. Odysseus is the archetypal questing hero - a blank canvas on which every era has projected its own values. Heracles is the original strongman. And Achilles is the fighter whose sexuality vies with his heel for popular attention. The videos mix archive film and TV clips with character animation, bringing a playful approach to classical myth, while the audio discussions shine a more scholarly light on how today's popular culture sees these myths differently from the Ancient Greeks.
