There's a typo on page 113, in this sentence:

ὁ οὖν Δικαιόπολις καλεῖ αὐτὸν καὶ, "ἑσπέρα ἤδη γίγνεται, ὦ πάππα," φησίν. "παύε οὖν ἐργαζόμενος καὶ ἡσύχαζε."

The underlined word should be παῦε rather than *παύε (circumflex instead of acute).

I can't type out the new lesson today or my 8A answers (wrong computer), so given that two others are catching up, I vote for staying one more week here. I'll try to type out stuff throughout the week.

November is going to be insane for me, so I don't mind if we take things slowly.

Thumbs up. I'm emotionally adjusting to having my tablet back. Joy and peace beyond understanding! What a materialist I'm coming out as!

I've put together a one-page presentation of all of the third-declension nouns presented in chapters 7 and 8 of Athenaze, including ἐλπίς, κύων and the others that the authors asked us to decline below the standard paradigms. You can access it here, if you would like to check it over (offer corrections) and use it for your own studies.

Thanks-that helps. I printed it out. When I'm bored I sort of chant Greek paradigms to myself, it helps, there are so many of them. A young friend of mine asked what I was saying-I told her I was invoking Athena in Greek. She was pretty impressed.

10. The farmer finds the sheep as they are wandering in the mountains

Exercise 8γ
1. Ἀρ'ὁρᾶτε τοὺς παῖδας ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ μαχομένους;

3. Παῦέ μοι ἑπόμενος καὶ ἄπελθε
4. Τῇ Μυρρίνῃ πειθομένη, ἡ Μέλιττα οἴκοι μένει
5. Ἀνδρείως τοῖς ἑταίροις ἡγούμενος, ὁ Θήσευς ἐκφεύγει ἐκ τοῦ λαβυρίνθου
6. Οἱ ἀνθρῶποι χαίρουσιν, πρὸς τὴν νῆσον πορευόμενοι

I don't know if I'll have time to compare these before I leave for NYC tomorrow night.

Bruna, do you mind going through and cross-checking both my work and CanadianGirl's work with your own to see if we've made mistakes and how we can learn from them?

This visit to NYC will not be very study-friendly, but I've already typed up my answers to 8β so that I can just paste them on the forum whenever we're ready. I'll be running around a lot in Manhattan this week. Just won't have time to really sit down and study.

3. νε με επεσαι (οr παυω εποσαι) και απελθε.

5. Θεσευσ εκ τοθ λαβυρινθου εκφευγει ηγουμενοσ εταιροισ αυτου ανδρειωσ.
6. Οι ανδρεσ χαιρουσι, σπευδομενοι προσ την νησον.

not at all, actually I even suppose I'll be able to this evening.
You did a very good job with that 3rd declension table.
Have a nice week

I do the same when I am at the dentist's, if I concentrate on Greek I pay much less attention to what's going on. :D

cross-checking done. I have no special remarks nor are the discrepancies meaningful. As for n. 8 and 9, I had understood it was a female dog, but I used the more general word "dog".

As Jaihare asked I have cross-checked our works.
These are the meaningful differences between our two works:
CanadianGirl wrote:Lesson 8 B
4. Do you see the boys who are following the girls?
I have ... the beautiful/lovely girls
CanadianGirl wrote: 6. Do you hear the women in the house talking among themselves? (Why is this genitive-shouldn't the object be dative or accus.?)
Because ἀκούω takes the accusative of things and the genitive of persons
CanadianGirl wrote: 7. The boys are following the father toward the city.
I think you forgot to translate πορευομένῳ, the boys are following the/their father as he is walking/ he journeys toward the city
CanadianGirl wrote: 8. The dog, fearing the wolf, flees away.
9. The dog, running at the wolf, barks wildly.
I just wish to point out that Jaihare used "bitch" because the Greek is "ἡ κύων", only the article ἡ tells us it is a female dog rather than a male one. Actually I used the word dog, not bitch, but I understood the female article.

Cross-checking people's works takes time but teaches me nearly as much as doing the exercise.

my Ἀρ is incorrect at best, it shoud read Ἄρ', I had not memorized that it has a circumflex, but if you have time have a look here:

4. I don't think my sentence is wrong but yours has a better rhythm, is it just a matter of
rhythm or is there any reason I'm forgetting?

5. same here

I'm not being picky, just did my best to be helpful, ok? it's now 3.00 am here.
CanadianGirl wrote: Αθεναζε 8γ
2. Ο Δικαιοπολισ εργον παυεται και τοθσ βοθσ ελαυνει οικαδε.
2. εργον παυεται sounds to me like "stops his work", while "stops working" should be παύεται ἐργαζόμενος, see Athenaze pages 114 and 115
CanadianGirl wrote: 3. νε με επεσαι (οr παυω εποσαι) και απελθε.
3. ooops, your sentence sounds unusual to me for a number of reasons.
A - some verbs are followed by a supplementary participle, which completes the meaning of the verb. Wonderful, but what verbs? There are several, among them Verbs that mean commencement, termination
B - besides, negative imperative is Μή ἕπου (middle imperative 2nd. Pr. Ending is ου
C - ἕπομαι takes the dative, so: μοι
So far your sentence should read: Μή μοι ἕπου, but this would still not be the translation of the Greek stop + suppl. participle.
I hope I have been clear, if not let me know, please
CanadianGirl wrote: 4. Μελιττα οικοι μενει, πειθομενη Μυρρινη.
4. proper nouns are most frequently used with the article: ἡ Μέλιττα - τῇ Μυρρίνῃ
CanadianGirl wrote: 5. Θεσευσ εκ τοθ λαβυρινθου εκφευγει ηγουμενοσ εταιροισ αυτου ανδρειωσ.
5. (see n. 4 for articles) typo: Θήσευς
the word order sounds unfamiliar to me, it seems to me that advs. of manner are more often placed before verbs, as well as direct and indirect objects.
CanadianGirl wrote: 6. Οι ανδρεσ χαιρουσι, σπευδομενοι προσ την νησον.
6. σπευδόμενοι = hurrying, journeying = πορευόμενοι

hey guys I am completely swamped right now and don't have the capacity to follow with the group (working non-stop... have not had a day off since thanksgiving, and it looks like I won't until Christmas!). I will try to study on my own when I can but need to withdraw from the group thing for now.

as Canadian Girl wrote: hurry back! when you can. :wink:
would it help if we slowed down to 1 exercise a week? and/or if somebody else posted the exercises to be done?
I speak only for myself of course, but I wouldn't mind slowing down to a minimum if that allowed you not to stop completely so that all your work up to now wouldn't go lost.
Haven't read from Jaihare so far. let's wait for him.

When you say "one exercise per week," how are you defining "exercise"? If we slow down to the point that we're are doing ten sentences per week, we will never finish this textbook.

On the other question, I would be glad to type up the exercises, if you feel that this is what you need.

Hello, here I am, exhausted.
seeing Klewlis' last post, I think we can go on as before, which means more slowly than before for me owing to family and job tasks.

Jason, you killed nothing, I'd be grateful if you posted the exercises.

on to 8B next week? so far I have written only the first exercise. :(

How about we go ahead and move on to 8β this week? You can submit your answers at your leisure.

Notice the word building exercise on page 124. It’s interesting and helpful.

Exercise 8δ
Read aloud and translate:
1. πᾶσαι αἱ γυναῖκες πρὸς τὴν κρήνην σπεύδουσιν.
2. αἱ γὰρ μητέρες τὰς θυγατέρας ζητοῦσιν.
3. ἐπεὶ δὲ εἰς τὴν κρήνην ἀφικνοῦνται, οὐκ ἐκεῖ πάρεισιν αἱ θυγατέρες.
4. οἴκαδε οὖν τρέχουσιν αἱ γυναῖκες καὶ τοῖς ἀνδράσι πάντα λέγουσιν.
5. οἱ οὖν ἄνδρες πρὸς τοὺς ἀγροὺς ὁρμῶνται· μέλλουσι γὰρ τὰς θυγατέρας ζητεῖν.
6. ἀφικόμενοι (having arrived) δὲ εἰς τοὺς ἀγρούς, οἱ πατέρες τὰς θυγατέρας ὁρῶσι νεανίαις τισὶ διαλεγομένας.
7. τὰς οὖν θυγατέρας καλοῦσι καί, “ἔλθετε δεῦρο, ὦ θυγατέρες,” φασίν· “μὴ διαλέγεσθε νεανίαις.”
8. αἱ οὖν θυγατέρες τοῖς πατράσι πειθόμεναι οἴκαδε αὐτοῖς ἕπονται.
9. ἐπεὶ δὲ οἴκαδε ἀφικνοῦνται, οἱ ἄνδρες πάντα ταῖς γυναιξὶ λέγουσιν.
10. αἱ δὲ μητέρες ταῖς θυγατράσι μάλα ὀργίζονται (grow angry at + dat.).

Exercise 8ε
Translate into Greek:
1. The mother tells (orders) her daughter to hurry to the spring.
2. But the daughter walks to the field and looks for her father.
3. And she finds her father working in the field with other men.
4. And she says to her father, “Father, mother tells me to bring water (ὕδωρ) from the spring.
5. “But all the other girls are playing (use παίζω).”
6. And her father says, “Obey your mother, daughter. Fetch (use φέρω) the water.”
7. And at the spring the daughter sees many women; they are all carrying water jars.
8. So she says to the women, “Greetings, friends,” and she fills (πληροῖ) her water jar.

Good luck!

If we had followed up with those who started with us to make sure that they were motivated, we might not need to find new people halfway through the book. ;) But, c'est la vie. I don't think it will be very easy to get people to jump into chapter 9, but we can certainly send out an invitation as a "refresher" to GreekStudy and other groups.

What tense is σπούδουσιν.
CanadianGirl wrote:3. And when they arrived at the spring, the daughters are not at that place.
What tense is ἀφικνοῦνται?
CanadianGirl wrote:4. And so the women return homeward and tell all these things to the men.
The word “return” is ἐπανέρχομαι. What is the word τρέχω?
CanadianGirl wrote:5. And so the men proceed to the fields; for they intend to look for the daughters.
Proceed is προχωρέω. What is the word ὁρμάομαι?
CanadianGirl wrote:6. And then having arrived in the fields, the fathers saw the daughters carrying on a conversation with young men.
Tense of ὁρῶσι?
CanadianGirl wrote:7. So they called the daughters and said ‘come here, oh daughters,’ ‘do not be talking with the young men.’
Tense of καλοῦσι?
CanadianGirl wrote:8. And so the daughters persuaded by (or obedient to) the fathers, they followed them home.
It’s certainly supposed to be “obeying.”
CanadianGirl wrote:9. And when they arrived at home, the men tell all this to the wives.
Tense of ἀφικνοῦνται?

I know that it’s tempting to change the present tense to the past for the sake of the story’s flow. This is especially true because of the so-called “historical present” that we see in the gospel accounts of Jesus’ life. I’m sure that you’re used to reading these texts and dealing with the present tense in a narrative past setting. However, when we are dealing with translations and grammar work, it’s better to stay in the tense of the original. This means that ἀφικνεῖται translates as “he arrives” (even in the context of a story), while ἀφίκετο means “he arrived” and ἀφικόμενος means “having arrived,” etc.

Overall, very good work. The word ὁμάομαι (#5) means “head to X” or “start out toward X.” It’s not quite the same in meaning as “proceed,” which just means “move forward.” So, πρὸς τοὺς ἀγροὺς ὁρμῶνται means “they set out toward the fields” or “they headed to the fields.”

Re: Athenaze Study Group - Lesson 8

With any Greek text, I sort of automatically turn the present into the historical present-usually it makes more sense. But strictly speaking, you're correct. I am constantly being surprised at how hard it is to think in Greek after translating it for some time-that's why Athenaze is valuable, no doubt.

I wonder if there is an essential difference between “spring” and “fountain” for κρήνη. Could we also translate it as “watering hole”? In that sense, could we extend it to “pub”? LOL
brunapogliano wrote:9. When they arrive at home, the men tell everything to the women
Do you see an essential difference between “the women” and “their wives”? In number 4 above, you translated τοῖς ἀνδράσι as “their husbands.” What’s the difference in this respect between husbands and wives?
brunapogliano wrote:Exercise 8ε
1. Ἡ μέτηρ τὴν θυγατέρα κελεύει πρὸς τὴν κρὴνην σπεύδειν
That is, μήτηρ rather than *μέτηρ, right?
I read this one as “her daughters” and translated it as τὰς θυγατέρας. I’ll make a correction on that.
brunapogliano wrote:3. Καὶ τὸν πατέρα ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ εὑρίσκει σὺν ἄλλοις ἀνδράσιν ἐργαζόμενον
I used μετά instead of σύν. Do you think there’s a difference? I have no idea at this point. I also took ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ as adverbial with the verb πονέω (where the fathers were working) rather than with εὑρίσκω (where the lass found her father). Thus, I placed it after εὑρίσκει and before πονοῦντα / ἐργαζόμενον.
brunapogliano wrote:4. Τῷ πατρὶ οὖν λέγει• "ὦ πάτερ, ἡ μέτηρ κελεύει με ὕδωρ ἀπὸ τῆς κρήνης φέρειν"
I translated “from” as ἐκ (“out of”) rather than as ἀπό (“away from”).
brunapogliano wrote:5. ἀλλὰ πᾶσαι ἄλλαι παρθένοι παίζουσιν
Wouldn’t you expect an article somewhere with παρθένοι? I put πᾶσαι in predicate position following the noun (αἱ ἄλλαι παρθένοι/παῖδες πᾶσαι) and put the verb first for emphasis.
brunapogliano wrote:6. ὁ πατὴρ οὖν• "Πείθου τῇ μετρί, ὦ θύγατερ," φησίν• "Τὸ ὕδωρ φέρε"
Postpositive οὖν separates between article and noun in a regular noun phrase (ὁ οὖν πατήρ).
brunapogliano wrote:8. Ἡ οὖν ταῖς γυναιξὶν λέγει• "Χαίρετε, ὦ φίλαι." καὶ τὴν ὑδρίαν πλεροῖ
πληροῖ rather than *πλεροῖ.
brunapogliano wrote:9. Οἴκαδε ἀφικομένη Also: Ἐπεὶ εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν ἀφικεῖται τῇ μετρὶ τὰ πάντα λέγει
Check the spelling of ἀφικνέομαι here.
brunapogliano wrote:10. Ἡ οὖν μέτηρ• "Εὖ γε," φησίν• "ἐλθὲ νῦν καὶ μετὰ τῶν ἄλλων κορῶν παῖζε"
I wrote ἴθι instead of ἐλθέ. Is it “come” (as in ἐλθὲ δεῦρο) or “go” (as in ἴθι ἐκεῖσε)?

I’ll tackle the rest later. I’ve gotta be offline for a few hours.

I know that the adjective φίλος -η -ον means “dear” or even “friendly.” However, when it’s used as a substantive, aren’t φίλος and φίλη better understood as “friend”?

You missed the word πᾶσαν in the noun phrase τὴν πᾶσαν ὑδρίαν.

“The” or “his”?

What do you think about the phrase “head home” instead of “set off homewards” for οἴκαδε ὁρμῶνται?

I’m uncertain about the use of ὁ οὖν. I see ὁ δὲ all over the place, but I don’t know if it can just be used this way before any and all postpositives. Do you want to check up on it?
I think δεῦρο is with motion (Greek ἐλθὲ δεῦρο = Hebrew בוא הנה). Alternatively, I think ἐνθάδε is for location in which something is found (Greek ἐνθάδε πάρει = Hebrew אתה פה).
brunapogliano wrote:4. Ὁ Αἰόλος δὲ• "Ἄπιτε ἀπὸ τῆς νήσου ταχέως" φῆσιν "Οὐ δυνατόν ἐστιν ὑμῖν βοηθεῖν. Οἱ γάρ θεοὶ δήπου ὑμᾶς μισοῦσιν."
I think you meant to write ὁ δ᾿ Αἴολος. The postpositive (δέ) comes after the first element of the noun phrase rather than after the entire noun phrase.

I hope this is helpful!
