I need some expertise on reading the greek language, or greek translated to latin. . . to english. I'm a bit lost.
dunno, it's all greek to me.
All I know is math greek.
. . .I just have a short phrase I need translated...but can't seem to nail it ;(
no. not like pi and such. . . I'd be really lost then. It's just a phrase.
did you try google?

I was thinking of chi or tau or lambda and such.
Yo hablo español...
Bienvenida a Free Republic...
right. as for the letters, yes. I have figured that much out, now I am working on putting the letters together and finding out what the words are. . .
Oh, I can read some spanish. . . but this is greek! thanks though.
During Lent I'm not posting like I normally do, but since I happen to know Greek and Latin, perhaps I can be of help. What is it you need translated?
It's all greek to me!
Simonides's epitaph for the Spartan dead after the Battle of Thermopylae,which can be found in Herodotus' work The Histories (7.228), to the Spartans:
O xein', angellein Lakedaimoniois hoti täde keimetha tois keinon rhämasi peithomenoi.
Go tell the Spartans, stranger passing by,
that here obedient to their laws we lie.
O foreigner, tell the Lacedaemonians that here we lie, obeying those words.
