Sorry for the delay in getting to this, there's been quite a few distractions this week. I'll try and get through the others over the next couple of days.

Quite a challenging chapter to read and I'm glad I'm the PL and not the reader!

A couple of notes on the Greek (both are in Classical Greek rather than Koine or New Testament Greek):
The diphthong "οι" is usually pronounced "oi", but I'm hearing "ee". I'm also hearing the same sound for upsilon (υ), but in classical Greek the closest sound is the German ü. The letter delta (δ) as an initial letter is "d", but I'm hearing "th" which is covered in Greek by theta (θ).

In the second Greek tag, the two words marked with a rough breathing (ἡγεῖτο and εἵνεκα) have been pronounced without it. The easiest way to do a rough breathing is think an "H" sound before the word.

All that said, I leave it to you and the BC to decide if you need to re-record the Greek, as I'm not sure how many listeners to the book will be any the wiser.


For the other parts of the text:
07:45 I hear "falling out of the way"; the text has "falling out by the way".
12:36 I hear "country"; the text has "county".
14:02 I hear "if you could call"; the text has "if you could hear".

We don't comment on pronunciation unless it changes the meaning of a word... there are too many "correct" ways to say things in English. I don' think the Greek needs fixing unless it does actually change the meaning... and, obviously, you are in a better position to judge than I am.

I made the corrections to the text that you indicated. As you can tell, I am not familiar with Greek. I asked for help in the Greek help section and Rapunzelina gave me a written guide and a recorded section. I practiced and did the best I could. If you would like to record a section for me, I will happily try again. Thank for your patience and sorry to have hurt the ears of a Greek speaker.

I'm afraid my Welch is no better than my Greek. I practice and do the best I can.

Thank you. Don't fret about the pronunciation... just do your best and say it with conviction. I once recorded a section with Arabic... no one ever said anything about my lack of knowledge (but maybe they've not picked themselves up off the floor yet?)

You've accidentally (re)uploaded a chapter from a different work, so the changes you made to chapter 11 haven't got through yet.
