andra moi ennepe, Mousa, polytropon,

[HenHanna]

ἄνδρα μοι ἔννεπε, Μούσα, πολύτροπον, ὃς μάλα πολλὰ πλάγχθη, ὃς καὶ
Τροίης ἱερὸν πτολίεθρον ἔπεισεν

andra moi ennepe, Mousa, polytropon, hos mala polla plangthē, hos kai
Troiēs hieron ptoleiethron epeisen


moi -- just like French


[andra, polytropon] are both Accusative so they align ...
they go together as if they were Yoked.

(even though there're 3 words in between)

Do you have this in French, German?

i guess... we have this in English.

Degree of Inflection: Both languages are strongly typed in that the
case endings dictate the grammatical function of words.

However, Greek often has more nuanced forms and uses than Latin,
especially in verbs.

I've never seen that version before; only this one.

I can't find a hit of your version anywhere on the Web.
I went searching because I'm interested. I studied Classics at
university, and specialised in Homeric Studies. The opening lines of the
Odyssey have stayed with me.
The ancient Greeks (especially the Alexandrians) standardised the
Homeric poems, and passed on one version. I don't recall hearing of another.

Your ὃς καὶ looks rather acceptable as Homeric Greek.
Your ἔπεισεν, however, doesn't fit.

What have you done? Made changes to test if anyone might see them? Or,
maybe, picked up a version from private correspondence with someone

i got them by asking Poe.com

(because Polyptoton reminded me of Polytropon)
--------- is there another word, just like them?


give me the opening sentence of The Odyssey
give me the transliteration
give me meaning of each word
give me next sentence
give me next sentence .................

What a strange situation we have here. Your AI bot has provided lines of
Homer that no one else gives; you've then analysed some grammar in it;
we'd better not ask the AI where it found them, because it's already
misled us once.

Poe.com is an OpenAI bot, and I have experience of some other falsehoods
from ChatGPT. It might be better to stick with Google or Bing for
similar future searches, otherwise we might end up with "hendiatreis"

Yandex is the only search engine that doesn’t seem to have worsened since
ChatGPT came out. That said I haven’t seen Google invent results out of whole
cloth, it’s just worse at giving me the results I want, rather than the results
it “thinks” I want, so I need to search iteratively two or three times rather
than just once.

andra moi ennepe, Mousa, polytropon, hos mala polla plangth?, hos kai

moi -- just like French

Of course. French and Greek are both Indo-European languages, and
nasals haven’t changed in the phonetic developments.

The vowels however are less reliable. I suspect moi in Greek is
actually moy so mu?

[andra, polytropon] are both Accusative so they align ...
they go together as if they were Yoked.
(even though there're 3 words in between)
Do you have this in French, German?

Of course. Insofar as they have cases and declinations. French only in
personal pronouns.

is Greek and Latin strongly-typed (regarding each word's case) to a
similar Degree?

Of course, why not?

Degree of Inflection: Both languages are strongly typed in that the
case endings dictate the grammatical function of words.

Isn't it rather the other way round?

Strongly typed I think is a programming term, not used in lingistics.

However, Greek often has more nuanced forms and uses than Latin,
especially in verbs.

I doubt that. All languages are equally nuanced, but often by
different means.
