Spoken Ancient Greek - The Companion's Companion

Lesson One - Part Two (Greek)


Listen Later

In this short conclusion to Lesson 1, Matthew and Luke wrap up their immersive spoken Greek session. Matthew tests Luke’s comprehension of the narrative, focusing on the specific relationships between the characters and the logic of who recognizes whom in the story. They clarify the identity of the "Teacher" and confirm the names of all four participants in the text.

Topics discussed:

  1. A summary of the four characters present: Jacob, David, Mary, and Mark.
  2. The logic of recognition (ἐπιγινώσκω): Clarifying that Mark knows everyone, but the students do not all know each other.
  3. The revelation of the Teacher's name (τὸ ὄνομα).
  4. Final comprehension checks regarding the narrative flow.
