I was looking at webpages
I was looking at webpages about Sappho (the Greek poet), and... well, it struck me how imprecise the translations of the poems were, and things like that, since I've seen (and translated for myself) the poems in the original ancient Greek version...
Something tells me I'm overeducated. --;
...
*goes to get her ancient Greek literature books* Only now that I'm out of high school do I fully appreciate that stuff...

oooh, qualcun altro che ha studiato greco. :) ormai pensavo di appartenere a una razza in via di estinzione.

Esattamente. ^_^ E temo proprio di non ricordarmi una parola. a parte... chesṣ... i soliti "kalos k'agathos", "gnothi seauton", "proskunesis" e via dicendo... (spiacente per l'orrida traslitterazione v_v)
