Yeah, just nice!
My best friend studies ancient Greek and Latin languages, to become a Ancient Greek and Latin teacher. I studied Italian (a little bit, I am not a good speaker in that language at all). We sometimes compare Latin and Italian, it is very surprising how much the two languages sound close when you try to correctly pronounce Latin (i.e. the way it was actually said, not in a "scholar" way 
).
By the way, I am very fond of Antiquity too , it is a very interesting talk.

i was going to ask you about Omirus odysseyWild Angel έγραψε:Actualy, all our primary studies in litterature are based on Greek Roman mythology. The first complete bbok i have ever analysed in college being the odyssey.
Then come trojans wars, legends and myth.
also Omirus has wrote "Iliada" (if i write it correctly in english)
Greece had also very very famous filosophers ! doctors , etc ....
sometimes its tragic, cause there are people from europe or elsewhere, that knows greek history better than we do
perhaps, if its your country's history you dont give such attention to it

That's exactly what happened with Greek. Nowadays, the Greek language is a diminished form of the ancient one.eutoposWildcat έγραψε:Yeah, just nice!

The only difference I can see is that Latin are the birth language of many other ones e.g. English, Spanish, Italian, Brazilian etc.
Anyway, I think studing ancient literature sharps up your point of view. In a way, everything historical seems to be reapeating itself. At present I read about "Alexandrou anavasis" (can't really translate it, something like Alexander's campaign), written by Arrianos about 180 A.C. Really fascinating...

I had read Omirus Odyssey and I know Iliada but I never read it. And I know some Greek philosophers : Platon, Aristote... In college we study Greek mythology too.Anzac έγραψε:i was going to ask you about Omirus odysseyWild Angel έγραψε:Actualy, all our primary studies in litterature are based on Greek Roman mythology.

College means "university", Famas, the French word "College" is translated by "Elementay School", in English .
) is also a very good reading, that really made me think that ancient Greeks were very similar to us. Men are men and will probably ever be the same, in a way
By the way, Ancient Greeks have a strange legacy, as they are considered as ancestors by much more people than Modern Greeks... even by people who have no Greek in their actual ancestors (like me, most probably)

Maybe we should explain to our Greek friends that we truly appreciate our French fellows, we are so used to making fun of each other in our group, that we do not realize that, perhaps, people not knowing us as far as we do could believe we are very rude sometimes !
