Actually, one he probably wouldn't recognise this pronouncation anyway and two, the Macedonian royalty tended to speak the Attic dialect since it considered it the dialect of royalty
They had to decide what the classical equivalent of Wichita was, and rather than pick some kind of boring city surrounded by grain, they picked the city Jason and the Argonauts were trying to get to, and that makes it kind of badass.
YES! There's multiple covers of this song done in the style of an Irish jig. All it needs is the appropriate lyrics. Hell, someone should also do a cover of it in the style of a sea shanty!
"I've Been Everywhere" in Medieval Arabic. In honor of Ibn Battuta, of course (and because it would be pretty cool). Bonus points if the destinations are actual places that he saw on his travels!
Then in honnor of ibn Rassid, al Hamass.....etc the main character of Michael Crichton's "Eaters of the Dead" adapted also on film as "The 13th Warrior" Stranger in a Strange Land by Iron Maiden
It's really good. I like the sound. As a note on pronunciation, you are using the dental fricative for φ rather than the aspirated plosive, while using the diphthong for ευ, which are linguistically separated by centuries. The pronunciation is closer to modern Greek than Attic Greek in some places. Look up the Lucian pronunciation and other videos by Polymathy to see what I mean. It's still great, though.
I am aware that the Erasmic pronunciation is accepted and well researched. But it still feels weird how differently it sounds to medieval and modern greek. Great work though!
The Erasmian pronunciation is not historically accurate, even though it is commonplace in academia. You should look into the most up-to-date reconstructed ancient Greek pronunciation, and a good place to get a taste of what it sounds like is in the YT channel Podium-Arts.
