ἑλλήνισον! (An Ancient Greek Podcast)

χαίρετε πάντες! For several years now we have been making the dream of active Ancient Greek a reality through our podcast freely available to the general public. Next year we aim to expand this program by teaching classes based on our model established in the podcast and the method used at the Polis Institute.
