Synopsis
Ancient Greek grammarians desired to preserve their phonetic language because of the influx of foreigners who needed to learn it because of commerce or conquest. Therefore, a prescriptive
system of intonated accents was developed: the acute (rising pitch), the grave (falling pitch) and the circumflex (combination of both). This is the focus of Lesson Ten. Sixteen MP3
audio files are used in conjunction with this lesson to guide toward a consistent pronunciation of Greek vowels, consonants and words. At the conclusion of the lesson a study guide
integrates the principles presented in this lesson.
