Document Summary
Lots of different ways that people translated from greek to latin: ex. alpha corresponds to a in latin, occasionally in some texts, a at end of word will be spelled with long e (athene, athena, castor k(lambda)(sigma)(tau)(omega)(rho) Thucydides: to translate, no alternative for th, then, u replaced with ou, c k, replace y with greek u, thoukudides. This is alot of power for a poet other societies, poets don"t have this much power. No evidence of nay greek power having this much power but they still presented themselves this way: tells complicated story. Said that there are several races (genos) of people in greeks. All the people are blood related came from same people. Romans didn"t have strong concepts of race because there is no. Roman race there are already multiracial people there. Instead of races, they called it ages of people/of mankind. Silver race ended up killing each other. Bronze race ended up killing each other too.
