Ancient Greek pronunciation help?

[luzula]

I need pronunciation help with this for a podfic: ὠνείδισας δὴ τοῦτο Διονύσῳ καλόν. (You reproach Dionysus for what is his glory. --The Bacchae, Euripides)

Anyone? : )

You could try PM-ing the_antichris. She's a Classics geek. Not sure if she's on DW, but she's on LJ.

Found someone, but thanks!

I used to be about to read Greece but it's been years since I've done it. Anyway, I found a place online where you can get the translation - http://www.lingvozone.com/main.jsp?do=dictionary&action=change_direction&language_id_to=23&language_id_from=8

Hope this helps.

I found someone else, but thanks!

The fact that you will be podficcing in ancient greek makes me ridiculously happy.

[luzula]

It's just one sentence? The rest of the fic is in English. : )

Ooh, I wanna help! Let me know what you need - for me to check your pronunciation, or to read it for you, or transcribe it, or to copy "Alphabet and pronunciation" from Reading Greek for you.

[luzula]

If you could record yourself reading it that would be great? Or if you don't want to do that, you could write down how to pronounce it.

Or, wait, the simplest solution could be that I call you on the phone and you could read it for me. : ) We could do that tomorrow? Or some other time--I'm not in a hurry with it.

Ack, family Christmas stuff totally ate my life! Right now I am yuletide-ing in double time to meet the deadline, but sure I could read it for you! Let's see if we can't make a Skype thing happen. I have to Christmas shop tomorrow, but I have time to myself on both the 26th and 27th, if you can wait that long? Then we could gossip Yuletide also!

[luzula]

Ha, Yuletide (and the due South exchange) has also totally eaten my life, so I am not at all in a hurry with the podfic. Skype some time on the 26th sounds good, though, or on the evening of the 27th? And Yuletide gossip sounds great. : )

Glad you found someone. I could totally have helped!

[luzula]

Good to know! : ) I'll remember for another time.

Hey, would you be willing to proof-listen to this podfic? It's only 13 minutes long. The fandom is The Secret History, but you don't need to be familiar with it. I got help from someone else with the actual Greek quote, but still, there are ancient Greek names scattered through the fic, and I'd love to get some feedback on the pronunciation of them. I don't want to ask Calvina who helped me with the first bit, because she's swamped with work. Also, I bet it would be helpful with someone whose first language is English (at least I assume yours is?), because Calvina is Danish.

My email is luzulae@gmail.com. There's no hurry with the beta, but still, if you're busy and don't have time to take it on, I get it!
