Hi all ~
I've been planning to get a very large tattoo of a battle scene from the Illiad, but want to be sure that I'm using correct ancient greek for the text, which reads, "Live with Honor, Die with Honor." I've come up with -- ζήστε με την τιμή, κύβος με την τιμή -- but I think that is modern greek. I do not want to use the verb "to honor" since it has a different connotation. Thank in advance for you help with this.
I also participate in a full contact sport combat group that represents a Homeric warband - but none of us speak greek, so I think this forum will be a valuable tool for us in the future.
