Egnatius sent me this wonderful article this morning about an upcoming attraction at the Olympics: an ode read aloud in Ancient Greek. At the Olympics in Athens, Dr. D'Angour was asked to write an Olympic ode in Ancient Greek. At a classics conference, the Mayor of London requested that Dr. D'Angour write one about the 2012 Olympics which the Mayor will read himself in both Greek and English. The ode is based on Pindar's famous Olympian odes and written in Alcaeic Strophes. How cool is that?
