josephbradford Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Does anyone know this children's book, The Berenstain Bears: Bears in the Night? In bed. Out of bed. To the window. At the window. Out the window. Down the tree. Over the wall. Etc. I was thinking something like this would be really good to teach Greek prepositions. I've got lots of students who are great at digital illustration. I've got a nice stockpile of digital illustration as well. And I'm fantastic at InDesign. It could even be animated (better than the youtube video). Any thoughts? I keep thinking there has to be a clever way of illustrating prepositions in connection with all the cases. I'd be happy to collaborate if anyone has ideas. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Nathan Parker Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Someone could probably record a voiceover in Greek and mute the English sound track and play their voiceover in a class. Might be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it might look something like this: Ἄρκτοι ἐν τῇ νυκτί (Bears at night) ἐν κλίνῃ ἐκ τῆς κλίνης πρὸς τὸ παράθυρον ἐκ τοῦ παραθύρου κάτω τοῦ δένδρου ὑπὲρ τοῦ τείχους ὑπὸ τὴν γέφυραν περὶ τὴν λίμνην μεταξύ τῶν λίθων διὰ τοῦ δάσους ἀνὰ τὸν φοβερὸν λόφον κάτω τοῦ φοβεροῦ λόφου διὰ τοῦ δάσους μεταξύ τῶν λίθων περὶ τὴν λίμνην ὑπὸ τὴν γέφυραν ὑπὲρ τοῦ τείχους ἀνὰ τὸ δένδρον ἐν τῷ παραθύρῳ πάλιν ἐν κλίνῃ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way back, cir 1993, I bought Teach Yourself New Testament Greek. I was looking over it the other day and got to thinking about Bears in the Night.

josephbradford Posted May 23 Author Share Posted May 23 @Brian K. Mitchell that’s fantastic what if we could tie this to the book of acts somehow, using Paul and the most frequently used nouns? maybe cities he visited. Ways he travelled. Etc To Rome By ship over the sea. Etc. @mgvhuses a great resource. But I can’t help but think, into the lion should have been preceded by “into the coliseum.” Lol too soon? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you could insert between 19 and 20: ἐπὶ τὴν κλίνην εἰς τὴν κλίνην 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josephbradford Posted May 26 Author Share Posted May 26 Ok, So I've just about got this one completed. I need to know what part of speech I should consider a section entitled "Practice." I'm thinking it would be a participle, nominative singular? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josephbradford Posted May 26 Author Share Posted May 26 @Brian K. Mitchell OK, I'm going to have some questions for you. Why did you choose "ἐν κλίνῃ"? We have a good example in Luke 11:7 "εἰς τὴν κοίτην". @mgvh chose "εἰς τὴν κλίνην". To which I would ask, why κλίνῃ over κοίτη? Would there be a reason for choosing one over the other when we have a great Biblical example for study purposes? ΛΟΥΚΑΝ 11:7 κἀκεῖνος ἔσωθεν ἀποκριθεὶς εἴπῃ· μή μοι κόπους πάρεχε· ἤδη ἡ θύρα κέκλεισται καὶ τὰ παιδία μου μετ’ ἐμοῦ εἰς τὴν κοίτην εἰσίν· οὐ δύναμαι ἀναστὰς δοῦναί σοι.

We have a good example in Luke 11:7 "εἰς τὴν κοίτην". @mgvh chose "εἰς τὴν κλίνην". I was brainstorming and wanted to create a quick example. That was the first thing that came to mind, but I like your suggestion. However, a form of κλίνῃ is attested to in the LXX: Τωβίτ 8:4 ὡς δὲ συνεκλείσθησαν ἀμφότεροι, ἀνέστη Τωβείας ἀπὸ τῆς κλίνης καὶ εἶπεν Ἀνάστηθι, ἀδελφή, καὶ προσευξώμεθα ἵνα ἡμᾶς ἐλεήσῃ ὁ κύριος. Τωβίτ 14:11 καὶ νῦν, παιδία, ἴδετε τί ἐλεημοσύνη ποιεῖ καὶ δικαιοσύνη ῥύεται. καὶ ταῦτα αὐτοῦ λέγοντος ἐξέλιπεν αὐτοῦ ἡ ψυχὴ ἐπὶ τῆς κλίνης· ἦν δὲ ἐτῶν ἑκατὸν πεντήκοντα ὀκτώ· καὶ ἔθαψεν αὐτὸν ἐνδόξως.

josephbradford Posted May 30 Author Share Posted May 30 @Brian K. Mitchell I saw something similar elsewhere. I like the simplicity of κλίνῃ much better not only that but κοίτην also carries the connotation of coitus (I wonder why? LOL). However, having such a strong NT reference, even though it's a bit more complicated may be the sound choice. I need the formula for searching using <followed by>. I want to search for a preposition followed by any random noun of a particular case. For instance, εἰς <followed by> (Any noun) Dative Case.

josephbradford Posted May 30 Author Share Posted May 30 I think i've got it. Would you say this is going to give me what I want? εἰς <followed by> <WITHIN 2 Words> [NOUN accusative] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, having such a strong NT reference, even though it's a bit more complicated may be the sound choice. I think both words would be okay as neither one would be out of place in a classical Greek textbook. And, If the textbook was mainly focused on Attic Greek both words could also be covered in the section on the koine dialect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
