Just so that you know that I'm not dropping the ball here

Section 52, because it was only one page with 2:41:

thank you, Ava, no I didn't think you would forget.

Interesting insight into this part of Hannibal's endeavour. I found it significant that the female elephants were more daring to venture out on the raft than the males

The text itself is flawlessly read, but there is a tiny bit missing in the intro:

> at 0:16: only missing the page number, which I wanted to include for the paintings (see my special notes in the second post). Could you please insert: “painting page 336” right before you start with the text proper ?

the rest is fine

It's not part of the title in the book.

Also: You really want page numbers? In an audio file?

Okay. *shrugs*

yes, only for the pictures, not for the texts. In case listeners want to check out the picture, it's nice to have the page number immediately

thanks, Jim, for another excellent section. I had heard of both Solon and Pisistratus already but didn't know such details about their political endeavours yet. Very interesting.

This section is PL ok.

Thanks. I did discover that the preferred pronunciation of Pisistratus stresses the second syllable, but the Danes pronounce it my way. Hamlet and I prefer to stress the third syllable. Great minds, you know. Jim

ah yes, I see, great minds pronounce alike, as the saying goes.

and here is a longer section, ready for PL. It's the well-known classic tale of Oedipus. I spent a few days on recording and editing it. Hope you enjoy it, Jim

Recording time: 22:34 min.

And I know this is a long one, so don't feel like you need to PL immediately. It'll keep.

thanks

Sonia

I did enjoy it--immensely! It is one of my favorite stories, and you rendered it in a wonderfully controlled and yet compassionate voice. It is PL OK.

Hi Rick, welcome to this project

yes Section 28 is still available, so I'll sign you up for it. All the details for the intro/outro (in your case, the full disclaimer) and the correct filenaming can be found in the first post.

Looking forward to your recording. Have fun !

thank you, April, perfect reading all through the text

this is PL ok on the first go. Although I knew the story of Romulus and Remus already, this text presents new info, like why he had to plough around the city to mark the walls. Interesting. And the bloody finale was well acted out by you

Good job

Sonia
