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 letters φ (phi), θ, (theta), and χ (chi) have been a point of controversy for many, and in this video I'll tell you about some new things I've discovered while researching this topic. The answer to how these letters are pronounced my surprise you!
