Can anyone scan for me, or show a site that will scan for me, the first line of the Iliad?

Question

In Greek, of couse - how else?

Answer 1

There is a web page but the link does not appear in full on this system. To find it, do a search on the phrase "Here is Iliad A", using quotation marks as shown, and then, at the page, click the link for 'here is Iliad A'

There is no information about the writer on the main page but clicking the 'article' links on that page lead to his name, Chad Bochan, and a search on the name shows he is cited by other enthusiasts of ancient Greek

Answer 2

I can't find a site where you can scan the first line, but if it's any help to you the first line is.........
'Achilles' cursed anger sing, O goddess, that son of Peleus, which started a myriad sufferings for the Achaeans'.

Answer 3

i don't know of any websites clever enough to scan lines of poetry.

you don't say whether you are trying to scan the poem in greek, or in translation. if you post the two lines you mean that might help.

Answer 4

Wikipedia has the first two lines, does that help?
