Ancient Greek ?
Q. Can you give a good resource for learning Ancient Greek language? What is the difference between Attic and Koine Greek?

A. A good resource for learning Ancient Greek? The classics department at your local university. However, If you don't want to take the classes, I learned from Hansen and Quinn - I forget the title of the book, since we always just called it "Hansen and Quinn" (I'm sure if you google the authors' names you'll find a reference to the book). It's a very thorough book for starters. After that, I'd buy some Loeb editions of the original greek authors and try my hand at translating (Loeb editions are nice for beginners because they have Greek on one side, English on the other). As for the second question, Attic Greek is a dialect of Ancient Greek that was spoken in Attica (the area around Athens). There were a lot of dialects in Classical… [cont.]

What is the ancient greek word for power?
Q. My brother wanted me to see if power in ancient greek is better and easier to say then energy. Also if you can, tell me the ancient greek word for "chi" if it has a word.
Asked by Solaris Knight - Fri May 8 11:49:10 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. There are two words in greek that could be translated power (as far as I know): 1: Dunamas (denoting action; where we get our words, dynamite and dynamic) 2: Exusia (denoting authority; where we get our words, execute and executive) chi is not an Enlglish word at all. It is chinese, if I am not mistaken, although it has made it's way into various vocabularies. This is more like energy within. I don't think it is the same as energy being used for power.

A. After Alexander the Great took over Egypt the two religions started to mangle with each other. Temples of Egyptian gods were build in Greece and of Greek gods in Egypt. During that era (called the Hellenistic period) new gods were created. For example Serapis a healer god, had his great temple the Sarapion build in Alexandria. There Greeks, whose religion was more anthropocentric, influenced the Egyptians into seeing their gods as more loving and less demanding. During that period we also have a mixture in art. For example we see statues of gods with Egyptian-like bodies and clothes but Greek-style faces. For example figures of Isis-Aphrodite or Amon Rah Alexander the Great.

A. Women with any wealth did not work. They stayed indoors running their households. The only public job of importance for a woman was as a religious priestess. In Sparta,men stayed in barracks until they were thirty. Since Spartan women did not have this restriction, they had more freedoms and responsibilities in public life. They were able to go out in public unescorted, participate in athletic contests, and inherit land. In the fourth century, over two-fifths of the land in Sparta was owned by women. In Athens, the law required all inheritances to go through the male line and limited property that could be owned by women. It was the wives who supervised the slaves and managed the household responsibilities, such as weaving and cooking.… [cont.]

A. First of all I don't know what fritters are. Secondly there is a greek sweet made by honey and sesame, pasteli. I don't know if it was part of the ancient greek cuisine. Moreover, there is a very famous ancient greek dish, called "melas zomos" (black soup or black juice), eaten by spartan soldiers. One of its ingredients was blood.

What the uneducated call a toga was a very specific piece of material. It was about 12 feet long and white with a purple border. The wear of it was restricted to male roman citizens. No one else could wear it. Now anyone could wear a palla which was also about 12 feet long and could be any color except white with a purple border.
