Pronunciation help needed - ancient Greek

[barbara2]

This is a recording of how I'd say it (not necessarily the only correct way ) https://librivox.org/uploads/rapunzelina/greeklines.mp3

Here are the greek characters:
Τη Παφίητο κάτοπτρον, επει τοίη μεν οράσθαι.
Ουκ εθέλω, οίη δ' ην πάρος, θ' δύναμαι.

Great! And very prompt. Thank you Rapunzelina.

Hi,
In my Solo project about thinking has this sentence: “Most languages have two sets of words to express these two modes of understanding; one for the direct taking in or grasp of meaning, the other for its circuitous apprehension, thus: γνωναι and ειδεναι in Greek; noscere and scire in Latin; kennen and wissen in German; connaître and savoir in French; while in English to be acquainted with and to know of or about have been suggested as equivalents.”

Excerpt From: John Dewey. “How We Think.” iBooks.
I've found help for the other languages but I still need to know how to pronounce the Greek: γνωναι and ειδεναι.
Any help is appreciated, thanks

[Rapunzelina]

γνωναι: gnoh-neh (a very soft g sound, like 'water' or 'youth')
ειδεναι: ee-the-neh

there's a 'listen' option in google translate that will help (the speaker icon below the two words in the box): LINK

Thank you.

I was happily reading away when - horror - this popped up:
ετηλη
A quick online search said it was 'unknown - try something different' and the reference was to the book I'm reading Then in the next sentence, I get κυφων.
Phonetic help would be appreciated!
Thank you.

The first one is stili (think of silly with a t, stilly).
The second one is kifon (very close to "key-phone").
I hope this is helpful

I have two phrases I can't work out how to pronounce -especially the vowel sounds - the google transliteration was odd!

“ἐν Τροίη ἀπόλοντο, ϕιλης ἀπὀ πατρίδος ἀίης”

“Νωμᾶται δ’έν ἀτρυγέτῳ χάει”

Help would be very appreciated.

Hello Emma!

Here's how I would say it, in case you still need it: https://librivox.org/uploads/rapunzelina/greekphrasess.mp3
It transliterates roughly to: En Trii apolonto, filis apo patridos eis and Nomate th' en atriyeto hai.

I don't know if my rendition is 100% correct, but I'm sure it's close enough
Good luck!

Hello Rapunzelina,

Perfect. Many thanks.

Can anyone help with this?

πολλἀ τἀ δεινά, κοὐδἑν ἀν-
θρώπου δεινότερον πέλει.
τοῦτο καί πολιοῦ πέραν
πόντου χειμερίῳ νότῳ
χωρεῖ, περιβρυχίοισι
περῶν ὑπ´ οῐδμασι

I think it's a quote from Antigone, found in The Voyage Out by Virginia Woolf
