Post by Hammurabi »

Hi everyone!

It's been a long time! Indeed I lost my main computer, I changed my life, the continent, my language...
Well, the good news are I'm still studying greek (and I hope to keep doing it!)

This week I started translating a series of maxims from... (if anybody recognize them please tell me the author) this is the first one; the thing is I'm doing this translation into French, (mainly cause my ancient greek courses are in french (I don't really wanna mix up my head); so if anybody want to practice his french and tell me what he thinks about this translation....

Οἱ φ?όνιμοι λέγουσι τοὺς χ?ηστοὺς πονη?οῖς λόγοις ο? τιτ?ώσκεσθαι, καὶ ἄδικον εἶναι τὸ λυπεῖν τοὺς φίλους ἑκουσίως καὶ πολλῶν τοὺς και?οὺς γίγνεσθαι διδασκάλους.

Les hommes intelligents disent que les justes ne sont point pénétrés par les mauvais discours ; qu’un homme injuste est intentionnellement l’affliction de ses amis ; et que les conditions deviennent des préceptrices pour plusieurs.


Je vous remercie en avance!
