      I disagree, this is a typical rendition of native Italians or Greeks trying to do renditions of ancient languages and they seem to shorten the vowel quality or the syllables the way the current languages are. Its like listening to a Latino or Russian speaking English, they rush through the syllables shorting vowels or lateral and nasal finals. It might follow the meter and have some expressiveness but it fails in the overall intensity of the language. The best rendition by far is by Menelmacarruclips.net/video/xh0yIwbQFCg/видео.html This rendition of classical latin is closest to the original, because its pronounced by a speaker whose native language has more similar lengths of syllables to the latin, the speaker understands the nasalisation and the higher pitch of pronunciation of syllables in a language that has many long vowels and diphthongs, the overall pitch is more like the way Arnold Schwarzenegger accent when he speaks English.

      @@chris10hi Haha I don't think anyone can say for sure certain rendition is "closest to the original", since all of these are restoration attempts more or less. But I agree, people whose native tongue is more similar to Latin do have better chance at pronouncing it right.

      To me that recitation sounds extremely unnatural, the cadence is horrible and there is no clarity to where one word ends and the next one begins, also the "extress" of all the words is completely flat, that doesn't sound like a real language, I don't think anyone ever spoke Latin like that, because it would be extrelly hard to understand for anyone who spoke any other regional dialect, even in the Japanese language different regions have different accents, no one speaks flat. Because I'm a native Spanish speaker, I can perfectly understand Latin spoken with the heavy Italian accent, just like I can understand Italian, French and Portuguese when spoken slowly, but I couldn't understand any of those languages if a heard a non-native speaker pronouncing everything flat and with no sense of pacing.

    Bravo! With your wonderful reading you manage to do what most cannot. You give us a great rendering of the meter and caesuras, in no way to the expense of dramatic effect. This is how latin poems should be read, a mix of both the rhythm and the meaning itself in both tone and voice. Congratulations, you seem to have understood the boundless beauty of Vergil.

    • @ScorpioMartianus
      @ScorpioMartianus  7 лет назад +36

      Thank you very kindly! :D I am extremely flattered by your compliment and I hope to be able to continue to live up to it as I continue my readings of my favorite epic. In my reading of Catullus 5, which you might have seen last week, I think my recitation was definitely a bit more mechanical (partly because I had memorized it and was trying to deliver the lines correctly, hehe). With the Aeneid, however, I would like to tell the story, which is definitely an exciting one, perhaps how a Roman father might have read it to his children in the time of Augustus. My opinion about the ancient language is that the elisions and meter found in poetry are actually part of the natural rhythms of Latin speaking, and when I converse with my friends and colleagues in Latin I attempt to preserve that rhythm (just as in Japanese, another language with short and long syllables and vowels). Thus, with no particular preparation other than having read it once through before, I am attempting in these recordings to emulate what any ancient Roman might have done after purchasing a copy of the Aeneid - the way you or I might read Shakespeare or Byron to another - subconsciously or semiconsciously aware of the rhythm, but not needing to emphasize because it comes through as part of the cleverness of the arrangement of the lines in any case. I hope to improve in this tenuous balancing act in future recordings. Very much obliged for your support!

You read it as a story, much like it’s intended to be read, and it gives me a new-found appreciation for the work. Back in the day, it at times felt nothing more like translation work, which could make it rather dull for me. Not in this way though. And for that, I thank you! You have earned a happy subscriber.

    I found my way here in my search to hear classical Latin. I am familiar with the sound of later Latin and her daughter tongues. I wondered how the Kikero and Weeny, Weedy, Weaky version sounded. I have been amazed by the way your reading sounds so familiar. The C-K thing and other differences did not have the brutifying effect on the sound of the language which I had (quaintly) feared. I think you have done our Roman forebears a great service. Even though I have very little understanding of the words, the music of Vergil's verse has reached my ears. You deserve the highest praise for this work, I have also learned how to spell 'Vergil' correctly:)

I am attempting to teach a "Church Latin"" class to young teenage boys. We have the traditional Latin Mass in our church as also Latin hymns and Gregorian chant. Mostly what we will learn are liturgical works and passages from Scripture. So the pronunciation is different from classical Latin.

    "Tantaene animis caelestibus irae?" Such a melancholic and calm tone to the question. Is this verse different from the others? I don't know much about latin. Was this your choice of reading it calmly? Also, interestingly you start off with enthusiasm and there, it became slower and sadder.

    • @michaelwu7678
      @michaelwu7678 4 года назад +4

      I’m unsure of Eques Martianus’s intentions, but I find your observations to be very fitting for the Aeneid, on a thematic level. Virgil writes much of the Aeneid in a very melancholy tone, with Aeneas beset by many hardships from the very beginning. Compared to the second half of the Aeneid, the first half is in some ways triumphant and enthusiastic. Even though Aeneas lost Troy, he is off on a new adventure, to found a new city and home for his people. Furthermore he meets Dido and is happy for a short while. But then he has to leave Carthage and fight many bloody battles in Italy to secure a home. Perhaps Esques Martianus reads the question “Tantaene animis caelestibus irae?” as we imagine Aeneas would, privately in his thoughts. Throughout the poem he has been pushed on again and again by the will of the gods who will not grant him peace or happiness. He is resigned to his duty his fate and so would question the gods’ anger in a calm and melancholy tone.

    • @ScorpioMartianus
      @ScorpioMartianus  10 месяцев назад +1

      Not exactly. Indeed, I dare say your assertion is a contradiction. Latin is a moraic language, meaning that long and short syllables are fundamentally distinct in every utterance. You can hear this “robotic” rhythm in other moraic languages, like Japanese, Finnish, Hungarian, Czech, etc. Indeed, none of these languages is robotic, but entirely natural, as is Latin.
      When the syllables of Latin are arranged into the repeating patterns of dactylic hexameter, we hear the rhythm, again and again; this is not “robotic,” but musical: song also has repeating patterns.
      Since this rhythm of fundamental to the nature of every Latin word and sentence, in prose just as much as in poetry, there does not exist an “an accurate non-metric pronunciation” that differs from “perfect metrical pronunciation.” They are identical.
