    “if people as teachable as ourselves couldn’t be taught enough Greek in ten years to construe any piece unseen, as we can with French, or with any other modern language, then that system by which we were taught should be scrapped, and those stern nincompoops by whom we were instructed should come before us, like the burghers of Calais, in sackcloth and ashes with halters round their necks.”

    Something to keep in mind, as Sappho fragments "assigned to the 2nd or 3rd century CE" are once again claimed to have come from mummy cartonnage (image from & 's "Bible Nation", p.40)

    Excerpt from book: As the renowned papyrologist Roger Bagnall wrote in his book Everyday Writing in the Graeco-Roman East, “cartonnage . . . is a specialty of the Ptolemaic period. I know of no certain example before the reign of Ptolemy II [283–246 BCE] or after that of Augustus [27 BCE–14 CE].”

    My wife and I never baby talk to our kids. We only address them with a form of reconstructed Proto-Indo-European. My son is 3 and can read Ancient Greek. Adults at family gatherings are shocked at his recitations of Homer. My daughter isn’t even 2 & she's fluent in Tocharian.
