I studied classical Greek, but I’m too lazy to get the text and read the original, and my dictionary got lost. So instead I listen to videos explaining it while I do other stuff that’s not intellectually demanding. So this video’s tailor made for me.
I do enjoy Aristophanes, though. He’s very playful with the words, making up bizarre compounds.
Most classes, except physics, chemistry and math, were off original sources in English at U of Chicago. I still have all the old collections in the hall bookcases. Try occasionally to go back, but it’s a hard plough and I give up. Symposium, however, is pure pleasure. Physics/History of Art here.
And I have to admit that I do prefer humor.
