About Reconstructed

This show is about restoring the pronunciation of Ancient Greek. To reproduce objectively and faithfully is quite impossible and hardly the point; our goal is rather to approach fidelity first by adhering to a roadmap laid by scholars and secondly by pronouncing with emotion and affect where needed. While our goal is to build a catalog of Greek narrations reaching back to Homer, in these first months the focus will favor Aristotle decidedly.
