Nice job! By the way, is Ancient Greek any similar to Modern Greek? I had Ancient Greek (and Latin) at secondary school and I'm wondering if the grammar of Modern Greek has anything to do with Ancient Greek. Is it the same as Ancient Greek, but with less tenses (and more simplified in general) or is it completely different? I guess that most of the vocabulary is different.

They have a few similarities like the same alphabet (although different tones for example ε = ἒ) but the modern greek are simplified and they have slightly different pronunciation and the majority of the words change.

Appreciate the effort, bookmarked.

One question: walking by some townspeople in the game I noticed further Greek chatter - colloquial modern Greek, if I am not mistaken? I've been on holidays to the country a few times when I was a kid, don't speak the language though.

I have always wondered what they were saying.. Same for the local background chatter in Origins. Extremely curious to know what they were saying, and I wish it was closed captioned so I could at least attempt a translation myself.

Thanks for the work!

Is there a chance to get the ancient greek text of the shanty "the tale of leonidas"?
Online I can only find the english version of the song and a modern greek translation but not the ancient text.
