What do you mean? Have you recorded it? I can't see the file anywhere.

O Ava, why must you tempt me with the Ancient Greeks?! I have a soft spot for choruses, as long as you don't mind me not being old (My print copy of Aristophanes' Comedies always called them Chorus of Old Women), or just stick me where you want!

(On another note, is it bad that I find Greek Tragedy funnier than its comedy? I mean, I had an exam of Oedipus Rex last Friday. Oedipus "You'd make a stone angry" - comedy gold!

We watched the 1968 film version in class, so I wouldn't be surprised if people didn't write about how funny it is when Oedipus throws Tiresias' chair in anger in their exams!)

It just says "women" here, and since you are one, you can be the chorus. They have quite a lot to say so I'm glad this role is filled

PLed.
The only thing to fix the repetition of "My dear, dear Lysistrata" at around 3:15-3:20. Otherwise, all is good.

Since I work better seeing my pronunciation guides than hearing them, I've written out Availle's first name mp3:

Lysistrata: "lee-sis-tra-ta"
Lampito: "lamb-pee-toe"
Calonice: "Cal-uh-nee-kay"
Myrrhine: "Mur-hee-nay"
Stratullis: "Strat-uh-liss"
Cinesias: "Kin-A-Z-S"

Cool, thank you!
I prefer to listen to pronunciations because I can't really read these things properly - never mind writing them...

I'll add your versions to the first post if you don't mind.
