This show is about restoring the pronunciation of Ancient Greek. To objectively reproduce is quite impossible and hardly the point; our goal is rather to approach fidelity by adhering to a roadmap laid by scholars and 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.
