Quotes

  • The language inscribed on the fire-baked clay tablets found at Pylos, on the mainland, and at Knossos, on Crete, dating from 1600 B.C., is recognizably a primitive form of the language in which the newspapers in Athens are written today. Of course, in this immense stretch of time, the language has undergone many changes, but no other European language even comes close to claiming such longevity; the only real parallel, in fact, is Chinese.
  • What modern Greece offers the student of classical literature is just as great as what it offers the archaeologist, if not greater.
