In this video I go through brief explanations of Ancient Greek Accent, Sapphic meter, and a brief example of how to sing some Sappho For more on this, here’s an example of Stephen Daitz’s recreation of the Hymn to Aphrodite (which I will be re-creating fully later) : For further reading on this please consult: -Stephen Daitz, “Further Notes on the Pronunciation of Ancient Greek.” The Classical World 95, no. 4 (2002) -Matthew Dillon’s “The Erasmian Pronunciation of Ancient Greek: A New Perspective.” The Classical World 94, no. 4 (2001) - and Sidney W. Allen’s VOX GRAECA: A GUIDE TO THE PRONUNCIATION OF CLASSICAL GREEK. London: Cambridge University Press, 1968.
