Can someone tell me if this website preserved the original text of The Iliad or if they translated it into modern Greek? Either way would someone be willing to teach me using it?

Quote:

Μῆνιν ἄειδε θεὰ Πηληϊάδεω Ἀχιλῆος
οὐλομένην, ἣ μυρί᾽ Ἀχαιοῖς ἄλγε᾽ ἔθηκε,
πολλὰς δ᾽ ἰφθίμους ψυχὰς Ἄϊδι προΐαψεν
ἡρώων, αὐτοὺς δὲ ἑλώρια τεῦχε κύνεσσιν

5
οἰωνοῖσί τε πᾶσι, Διὸς δ᾽ ἐτελείετο βουλή,
ἐξ οὗ δὴ τὰ πρῶτα διαστήτην ἐρίσαντε
Ἀτρεΐδης τε ἄναξ ἀνδρῶν καὶ δῖος Ἀχιλλεύς.

τίς τ᾽ ἄρ σφωε θεῶν ἔριδι ξυνέηκε μάχεσθαι;
Λητοῦς καὶ Διὸς υἱός· ὁ γὰρ βασιλῆϊ χολωθεὶς

10
νοῦσον ἀνὰ στρατὸν ὄρσε κακήν, ὀλέκοντο δὲ λαοί,
οὕνεκα τὸν Χρύσην ἠτίμασεν ἀρητῆρα
Ἀτρεΐδης· ὁ γὰρ ἦλθε θοὰς ἐπὶ νῆας Ἀχαιῶν
λυσόμενός τε θύγατρα φέρων τ᾽ ἀπερείσι᾽ ἄποινα,
στέμματ᾽ ἔχων ἐν χερσὶν ἑκηβόλου Ἀπόλλωνος

15
χρυσέωι ἀνὰ σκήπτρωι, καὶ λίσσετο πάντας Ἀχαιούς,
Ἀτρεΐδα δὲ μάλιστα δύω, κοσμήτορε λαῶν·
Ἀτρεΐδαι τε καὶ ἄλλοι ἐϋκνήμιδες Ἀχαιοί,
ὑμῖν μὲν θεοὶ δοῖεν Ὀλύμπια δώματ᾽ ἔχοντες
ἐκπέρσαι Πριάμοιο πόλιν, εὖ δ᾽ οἴκαδ᾽ ἱκέσθαι·

20
παῖδα δ᾽ ἐμοὶ λύσαιτε φίλην, τὰ δ᾽ ἄποινα δέχεσθαι,
ἁζόμενοι Διὸς υἱὸν ἑκηβόλον Ἀπόλλωνα.

This is a bit late but, I was quite annoyed of the constant "Welcome to my room" requests in the discussions that I got so annoyed that a translator was a last result.

just out of curiosity, does anyone here speak any Modern Greek? ninja I'd like to learn it sometime soon

I was just wondering that, too. sad This section isn't going very well, is it... I'd like to learn to read the characters if anyone here can teach me. sweatdrop

I speak Greek...I am Greek and I know a lot about the culture.

Here are some useful phrases. They're all phonetic; I can speak it, but I can't spell it so well. xD Although "Greeklish" is used by many people in greece when typing on a keyboard that has no Greek characters. Just typing the words with their pronunciations, OR with the English equivilant of the Greek letter. So hello could be typed "giasoy" or "yaso," really.

Hello = YA-sou!

Goodbye = An-DAY-oh! <---What is that? And, YA-sou also works here.

Do you speak Greek? = Mee-NAHS Ah-lee-nee-KAH? Should be Mee-LAS EH-lee-nee-kAH

A little = LEE-gho.

Yes = Nay. Neh

No = OH-hee.

My name is... = Toh on-a-MA moo EE-neh...

Where is...? = Poo-EE-neh ee/to...?

Fish = PSA-ree.

Bread = Pso-MEE.

House = SPEE-tee.

Dog = Skee-LEE.

Anything in particular you want me to translate?

By the ay, to make something possessive, you add "_ou" after it. So 'my dog' would be 'skili mou'! 'Your dog' would be 'skili sou'!

Just corrected some of the pronounciations here.

Are you of Greek origin? smile

Yes, Indeed I am.

Cool, are you 100% Greek cuz I am.

Wait, why did I want this translated 4 years ago? Oh well, I know who probably wanted it translated. I'll ask her.

[Google translate has its uses as long as you're aware it's horrible.]
