Modern version:

Ὀδύσσεια

ἄνδραμοι ἔννεπε++, μοῦσα, πολύτροπον+, ὃς μάλα πολλὰ
πλάγχθη, ἐπεὶ Τροίης ἱερὸν πτολίεθρον ἔπερσεν:
πολλῶν δ' ἀνθρώπων ἴδεν ἄστεα καὶ νόον ἔγνω,
πολλὰ δ' ὅ γ' ἐν πόντῳ πάθεν ἄλγεα ὃν κατὰ θυμόν,

5
ἀρνύμενος ἥν τε ψυχὴν καὶ νόστον ἑταίρων.
ἀλλ' οὐδ' ὣς ἑτάρους ἐρρύσατο, ἱέμενός περ:
αὐτῶν γὰρ σφετέρῃσιν ἀτασθαλίῃσιν ὄλοντο,
νήπιοι, οἳ κατὰ βοῦς Ὑπερίονος Ἠελίοιο
ἤσθιον: αὐτὰρ ὁ τοῖσιν ἀφείλετο νόστιμον ἦμαρ.

10
τῶν ἁμόθεν γε, θεά, θύγατερ Διός, εἰπὲ καὶ ἡμῖν.

  • @alkantre Thanks a lot! I'm not singer, but I swear to Zeus I tried to give my best. :)

  • Whooh :) That's great!! You've got amazing voice :D soo calm... :) I feel much more relaxed right now :) You're like aojdos (I think thats the right word :) Demodokos from Odyssey :D (sorry I do not have greek alphabet on my computer)

    Thanks :)

  • Thanks a lot for your comment. I tried to did like Ancients used to do. The tales were sung in that Age. I am not singer so I was a little worried about it haha. I'm glad you like it. Also, you can write Greek by using latin letters, theres no problem, we can understand you. :)

  • very nice! respecting the espondeas and dactilas (right?) where did u learn them? i know another version of the melody it's a little less plain than this one but i guess yours is more the original version

  • Καταρχάς ποιος είναι αυτός που μιλάει και γιατί τέτοια προφορά;;;;;

    Εννοείτε πως αν εισαι απο άλλη χώρα δεν μπορείς να προφέρεις τις λέξεις σωστά....Πολύ κακή προσπάθεια, πραγματικά.Παραπλανείς και αυτό δεν είναι καλό, μάθε να προφέρεις και μετά να ποιάνεις να διηγηθείς ένα τέτοιο θησαυρό.Άισχος και ντροπή!

  • As expected, awesome! I'm slowly making my way through the Odyssey in Greek. Recordings like this are invaluable to me as I'm working on my own. Keep up the fantastic work.

  • wow. really good, im impressed. but....... i happend to have the volume up all the way, and the first chord kindof woke up my entire family, lol.

  • Awesome!!! I have for a very long time wished to hear the opening lines of this epic in the original. THANK YOU!!!!

  • @kakosuranosx Yeah, I love the sound of ancient Greek. As I say, I hope to get started on it soon.
