Translating Done and Spring!!
Nov. 20th, 2007 12:09 pmI walked up the hill worried and bothered thinking that my Greek would be horrible and found Spring flowers and scents and recited some Shakespeare, which helped.
Then I spent an hour with my advisor, both agreeing on how hard Pindar is and I did good, she even said much better.
I may never be a classic's professor but I do know how to translate Pindar, who's just plain hard. The sun in shining and I'm feeling good and hopeful again, now to go find lunch and then spend the afternoon being silly and creative.
Since now I get to write about Pindar instead of just translating him. Thanks to everyone who listened to me complain about Greek, I know it must be boring at times, but well two out of three odes translated.
