Greek Beyond GCSE Chapter 1 Flashcards
ἆρα μὴ πάντα τὸν σῖτον ἐφάγετε, ὦ παῖδες;
Surely you didn’t eat all the food, children?
οὗτος ὁ ἄγγελος ἐρώτᾳ εἰ ἴσμεν περὶ τῶν ἐκεῖ γενομένων.
This messenger is asking if we know about the things that happened there.
πότερον τόδε τὸ πλοῖον ἄμεινον ἐστὶν ἢ ἐκεῖνο, ὦ ναῦτα;
Is this boat better, or that one, sailor?
ἆρ’ ἐπύθου ὁπότε οἱ νέοι στρατιῶται ἀφίξονται;
Did you find out when the new soldiers would arrive?
χαλεπόν ἐστι γνῶναι εἰ χειμῶνός ἐστιν ἀσφαλὴς ἡ ὁδός.
It is difficult to get to know if the road is safe in winter
αἱ ἐν τῇ πόλει ἤροντο ὁπόθεν οἱ σύμμαχοι πέμποιντο.
The women in the city asked where the allies were being sent from
βούλομαι μαθεῖν πότερον ἱκανά ἐστι τὰ χρήματα ἢ οὔ, ὦ δοῦλε.
I want to learn whether the money is enough or not, slave.
ἆρ’ οὐ φιλεῖς τὴν λόγοις οὕτω χρωμένην, ὦ νεανία;
Surely you love the woman who uses words in this way, young man?
αἰτήσω τὸν ῥήτορα εἰπεῖν ὅπως τὴν ἐκκλησίαν ἔπεισεν.
I shall ask the speaker to say how he persuaded the assembly.
βουλόμεθα γνῶναι εἴτε νομίζεις τὸν δοῦλον αὐτὸν εἴτε τὸν δεσπότην αἴτιον εἶναι.
We want to find out whether you think the slave himself or his master is
responsible.
This woman asked whether I had seen the slave running away.
αὑτη ἠρωτησεν εἰ τον δουλον φευγοντα εἰδον.
Surely the citizens do not trust that politician?
ἀρα μη οἱ πολιται πιστευουσιν ἐκεινῳ τῳ ῥητορι;
Do you know who wrote the best letter, teacher?
ἀρ’ οἰσθα ὁστις ἐγραψε την ἀριστην ἐπιστολην, ὠ διδασκαλε;
The stranger is asking where it is possible for him to find food.
ὁ ξενος ἐρωτᾳ ὁπου ἐξεστιν αὐτῳ σιτον εὑρειν.
I want to find out whether the enemy damaged the fields or the houses.
βουλομαι γνωναι εἰτε οἱ πολεμιοι ἐβλαψαν τους ἀγρους εἰτε τας οἰκιας.
οὐκ οἶδα ὅστις τὴν ἐπιστολὴν ἔπεμψεν.
I do not know who sent the letter.
ὁ διδάσκαλος ἐβούλετο γνῶναι ὁπόσοι τῶν παίδων παρεῖεν.
The teacher wanted to find out how many of the children were present.
ἆρ’ οὐχ οἱ νεανίαι τοσαῦτα ἆθλα ἐκτήσαντο ὥστε ὑπὸ πάντων θαυμάζεσθαι;
Surely the young men obtained so many prizes that they were admired by
everyone?
χαλεπόν ἐστι πυθέσθαι ὁπόθεν ἡ νόσος ἤρξατο καὶ ὅπως.
It is difficult to find out from where the plague began, and how.
ποῖ φεύγεις, ὦ δοῦλε, καὶ διὰ τί;
Where are you running away to, slave, and why?
ἆρα μὴ ἡ παῖς τοιαύτη ἐστὶν ὥστε ταῦτα πράσσειν;
Surely the girl is not the sort to do these things?
τοσοῦτοι τότε ἀφίκοντο ὥστ’ οὐχ οἷοί τ’ ἦμεν μαθεῖν ὁπόθεν ἦλθον.
So many people arrived then that we were unable to learn where they had come
from.

Is this the place where the disaster happened?
ὁ στρατιώτης ξίφος ἔχει οἷον οὔποτε πρότερον εἶδον.
The soldier has a sword of a type I never saw before.

Despite knowing neither how nor when these walls were made, I think that they
were somehow made by human beings.
What sort of food do you like, children?

From where did these slaves whom I saw in the marketplace come?
ποθεν ἠλθον οὑτοι οἱ δουλοι οὑς ἐν τῃ ἀγορᾳ εἰδον;
τὴν δικαιοσύνην ἀεὶ ζητῶμεν, ὦ πολῖται.
Let us always seek justice, citizens!

Surely the things said by the messenger are not true?
ἠρώτησα τὸν στρατηγὸν ὁπόσους στρατιώτας ἄγει καὶ ὁποῖα ἔπαθον.
I asked the general how many soldiers he was leading and what kind of things
they had suffered.

If he promises the same things again, do not trust the speaker!
εἰ ἡ πόλις τοιαῦτα τείχη ἔχει, οὐδαμῶς φοβοῦμαι.

If I had not looked for the road through the mountains, I would never have found it.
τοὺς λόγους μαθόντες, ἐνομίζετε ἂν τὸ ἔργον ῥᾷον εἶναι.
Had you learned the words, you would think the work was easier
If you had not obeyed the king, slave, you would have been punished.

εἴποι τις ἂν ὅτι ἁμαρτάνω.
Someone might say that I am making a mistake.
λέγοις ἄν μοι τί ἐγένετο;
Would you tell me what happened?
ἀποκρίνοιτο ἂν ὁ δοῦλος ὅτι οὐδὲν ἤκουσεν.
The slave might reply that he heard nothing.
πολὺν χρόνον ἔμειναμεν ἄν.
We would have waited a long time.
ὁ γέρων οὐκ ἂν αὖθις παῖς γένοιτο.
The old man could not become a boy again.
