Re: Anachronisms in Ancient Greek Pronunciation - greece

This is indeed fun. He's right about the odd mixtures you hear in our classrooms, and it has made me as crazy as it makes him. He doesn't get into the pitch accent, but that's even more problematic: Allen, whose Vox Graeca Ranieri cites, cooked up a very strange theory of cross-cutting pitch and stress ("Accent and Rhythm" 1973) according to which the syllable the grammarians put the circumflex or acute accent on was marked by a rise in pitch followed by a return to base pitch, while the last long syllable in a word was markedly stressed. Try talking that way!
