I found a good site for translating English to ANCIENT GREEK (HELLENE),
but I am having trouble deciding which words to use, as some English
words have multiple uses in Ancient Greek and vice verse. Also, one I
can't find a literal translation, so I was hoping you guys could help
me find the proper words in CONTEXT.  1.) English: Gate Context: A city gate. A portal in a city wall. http://www.foreignword.com/Tools/dictsrch_aff.asp?menu=N&a mp;query=Gate&src=BP&go=Translate&trg=CQ 2.) English: Corral Context: As in a place to store animals: goats, pigs, horses, etc. 3.) English: Merchant Ship Context: A seagoing vessel engaged in commercial activity and/or trade. The words in proper contextual form will be used in the upcoming game "0 A.D." Check it out here: www.wildfiregames.com/0ad |
