Greek translation practice by Neil Hughes https://padlet.com/neil_hughes/vdwozi3cr031gti7 First check the document on Moodle to see which section you've been assigned; then add your translation for that section, using 'Add comment' to do this. Once you've completed your section, look at the translations that others have provided for their sections. Add a comment to each one, to indicate what you think is particularly good in those translations, and also politely identify any points where you think they could be improved. en-us 2020-05-05 07:05:46 UTC 2025-11-06 04:28:09 UTC hello@padlet.com 25A.1-3 τελευτήσαντος δὲ Ἀλυάττεω, ἐδέξατο τὴν βασιλείαν Κροῖσος ὁ Ἀλυάττεω, ἔτη γενόμενος πέντε καὶ τριάκοντα, ὃς δὴ τοῖς ἐν Ἀσίᾳ Ἕλλησι ἐπιστρατεύων ἐν μέρει κατεστρέψατο. neil_hughes https://padlet.com/neil_hughes/vdwozi3cr031gti7/wish/551229083 2020-05-05 07:08:09 UTC https://padlet.com/neil_hughes/vdwozi3cr031gti7/wish/551229083 25A.3-7 ὡς δὲ τοὺς ἐν Ἀσίᾳ Ἕλληνας κατεστρέψατο, ἀφικνοῦνται ἐς Σάρδις ἄλλοι τε ἐκ τῆς Ἑλλάδος σοφισταὶ καὶ δὴ καὶ ὁ Σόλων, ἀνὴρ Ἀθηναῖος, ὅς Ἀθηναίοις νόμους ποιήσας ἀπεδήμησε ἔτη δέκα, λόγῳ μὲν θεωρίας ἕνεκα ἐκπλεύσας, ἔργῳ δὲ ἵνα μή τινα τῶν νόμων ἀναγκασθείη λῦσαι ὧν ἔθετο. neil_hughes https://padlet.com/neil_hughes/vdwozi3cr031gti7/wish/551229850 2020-05-05 07:08:33 UTC https://padlet.com/neil_hughes/vdwozi3cr031gti7/wish/551229850 25A.7-8 αὐτοὶ γὰρ οὐχ οἷοί τ’ ἦσαν τοῦτο ποιῆσαι Ἀθηναῖοι· κατείχοντο γὰρ δέκα ἔτη χρήσεσθαι νόμοις οὕστινας σφίσι Σόλων θεῖτο. neil_hughes https://padlet.com/neil_hughes/vdwozi3cr031gti7/wish/551230457 2020-05-05 07:08:52 UTC https://padlet.com/neil_hughes/vdwozi3cr031gti7/wish/551230457 25A.8-9 ἀποδημήσας οὖν ἐς Αἴγυπτον ἀφίκετο παρὰ Ἄμασιν καὶ δὴ καὶ ἐς Σάρδις παρὰ Κροῖσον. neil_hughes https://padlet.com/neil_hughes/vdwozi3cr031gti7/wish/551230947 2020-05-05 07:09:07 UTC https://padlet.com/neil_hughes/vdwozi3cr031gti7/wish/551230947 25A.10-12 ἀφικόμενος δὲ ἐξενίζετο ἐν τοῖς βασιλείοις ὑπὸ τοῦ Κροίσου. μετὰ δέ, ἡμέρᾳ τρίτῃ ἢ τετάρτῃ, κελεύσαντος Κροίσου, τὸν Σόλωνα θεράποντες περιῆγον κατὰ τοὺς θησαυροὺς ἵνα δείξειαν πάντα ὄντα μεγάλα καὶ ὄλβια. neil_hughes https://padlet.com/neil_hughes/vdwozi3cr031gti7/wish/551231550 2020-05-05 07:09:26 UTC https://padlet.com/neil_hughes/vdwozi3cr031gti7/wish/551231550 25A.13 θεασάμενον δὲ αὐτὸν τὰ πάντα καὶ σκεψάμενον ἤρετο ὁ Κροῖσος τάδε· neil_hughes https://padlet.com/neil_hughes/vdwozi3cr031gti7/wish/551232057 2020-05-05 07:09:43 UTC https://padlet.com/neil_hughes/vdwozi3cr031gti7/wish/551232057 25A.14-15 “ξένε Ἀθηναῖε, παρὰ ἡμᾶς περὶ σοῦ λόγος ἥκει πολὺς καὶ σοφίας ἕνεκα σῆς καὶ πλάνης, ὡς θεωρίας ἕνεκα γῆν πολλὴν ἐπελήλυθας. neil_hughes https://padlet.com/neil_hughes/vdwozi3cr031gti7/wish/551232618 2020-05-05 07:10:03 UTC https://padlet.com/neil_hughes/vdwozi3cr031gti7/wish/551232618 25A.15-16 νῦν οὖν βούλομαι ἐρέσθαι σε τίς ἐστιν ὀλβιώτατος πάντων ὧν εἶδες.” neil_hughes https://padlet.com/neil_hughes/vdwozi3cr031gti7/wish/551233082 2020-05-05 07:10:18 UTC https://padlet.com/neil_hughes/vdwozi3cr031gti7/wish/551233082 25Α.16-18 ὁ μὲν ἐλπίζων αὐτὸς εἶναι ὀλβιώτατος ταῦτα ἠρώτα, Σόλων δὲ οὐδὲν ὑποθωπεύσας ἀλλὰ τῷ ἀληθεὶ χρησάμενος λέγει· “ὦ βασιλεῦ, Τέλλος Ἀθηναῖος. neil_hughes https://padlet.com/neil_hughes/vdwozi3cr031gti7/wish/551233469 2020-05-05 07:10:32 UTC https://padlet.com/neil_hughes/vdwozi3cr031gti7/wish/551233469 25A.18-19 θαυμάσας δὲ Κροῖσος τὸ λεχθέν, ἤρετο, “πῶς δὴ κρίνεις Τέλλον εἶναι ὀλβιώτατον; neil_hughes https://padlet.com/neil_hughes/vdwozi3cr031gti7/wish/551233838 2020-05-05 07:10:45 UTC https://padlet.com/neil_hughes/vdwozi3cr031gti7/wish/551233838 25A.19-21 ὁ δὲ εἶπε· “Τέλλῳ καὶ παῖδες ἦσαν καλοί τε κἀγαθοὶ καὶ τοῖς παισὶν εἶδε τέκνα ἐκγενόμενα καὶ πάντα παραμείναντα, καὶ τελευτὴ τοῦ βίου λαμπροτάτη ἐγένετο· neil_hughes https://padlet.com/neil_hughes/vdwozi3cr031gti7/wish/551234443 2020-05-05 07:11:05 UTC https://padlet.com/neil_hughes/vdwozi3cr031gti7/wish/551234443 25Α.21-24 γενομένης γὰρ Ἀθηναίοις μάχης πρὸς γείτονας ἐν Ἐλευσῖνι, βοηθήσας καὶ τροπὴν ποιήσας τῶν πολεμίων ἀπέθανε κάλλιστα, καὶ αὐτὸν Ἀθηναῖοι δημοσίᾳ τε ἔθαψαν ὅπου ἔπεσε καὶ ἐτίμησαν μεγάλως.” neil_hughes https://padlet.com/neil_hughes/vdwozi3cr031gti7/wish/551234910 2020-05-05 07:11:21 UTC https://padlet.com/neil_hughes/vdwozi3cr031gti7/wish/551234910
