The pronunciation of Ancient Greek is a fascinating story that stretches from the epic Homeric legends through Classical Greece and Rome to the modern era. How did the sound of Greek change from early to late antiquity to the Mediaeval period to the present? In this series of videos, I will answer those questions, and many more! 🇬🇷 The letter ζ (zeta) has been a point of controversy for many, especially me! In this video, I give my final verdict on the subject, summarizing many years of research into this question. You may be surprised at the answer! Many thanks to my sponsor Ancient Language Institute.
