Ἡ Ὀδύσσεια τοῦ Ὁμήρου ἐντάσσεται στὰ πλαίσια τῶν ἐργασιῶν πού ξεκίνησα ἐδῶ καὶ μερικὰ χρόνια στὴν ἰστοσελίδα μου Projet Homere ) - http://www.projethomere.com
Ἡ ἐργασία αὐτὴ ἀφορᾷ τὴν Ραψῳδία Ξ' - Ὀδυσσέως πρὸς Εὔμαιον ὁμιλία.
Ἡ Ὀδύσσεια εἶναι ἕνα ἀπὸ τὰ δύο κορυφαία ἔργα τοῦ Ὁμήρου καὶ ταυτοχρόνως τῆς Εὐρωπαϊκῆς λογοτεχνίας καὶ θεωρῶ ὅτι αὐτὰ τὰ σπουδαῖα ἀρχαῖα ἑλληνικὰ λογοτεχνικὰ ἔργα πρέπει νὰ ἠχογραφηθοῦν ἀπὸ ἑλληνικὲς φωνὲς.
Homer's Odyssey is one of the work that I started a few years ago on my website, Projet Homere ) - http://www.projethomere.com
This record concerns Book 14. Ulysses in the Hut of Eumæus.
The Odyssey is one of Homer's two major works and at the same time European literature, so I am convinced that it is important that ancient Greek literary works be recorded by Greek voices.
L 'Odyssée d'Homère fait partie des travaux que j'ai commencés il y a quelques années sur mon site Projet Homère : http://www.projethomere.com
Cet enregistrement concerne le chant 14 : Ulysse chez Eumée.
L'Odyssée est une des deux œuvres majeures d'Homère et en même temps de la littérature européenne, aussi je suis persuadée qu'il est important que les anciennes œuvres littéraires grecques soient enregistrées par des voix grecques.
