How do you monetize being fluent in Latin and Homeric Greek?
Learn to develop your self worth through frog posting.
At best you can become a teacher. You don't get into the classics (or even history, philosophy or art in general) expecting to "monetize" it, that's just dumb.
>>25235833Why yes it's dumb that I want to buy some farmland and property without going into debt.
open a youtube channel where you talk about this shitmaking it as a youtuber is harder than ever especially compared to the early days but if you don't try you will never know
>>25235838Yes, if you want to buy property without going into debt you will need a ver very well-paying job. The capitalist system just doesn't value knowing classical languages so you can't make money out of that.
>>25235848Well yes on the surface level, that is why you need to find some niche or hole in the market.
>>25235838If you live in the US you can do that for cheap, just need to move into fly over country (farm country.)
>>25235819learn homoerotic greek
>>25235838Sorry for doing the meme but you do need to get a real job to do that. Boomers are dead right on this issue no matter how hard it is to accept.
>>25235860Was there never someone who made a tiny revolution and fair accumulation of wealth with some classical insight/publishing etc.
>>25235870The ghetto-to-NFL pipeline is a sure thing, Jamal
if you know Homeric you probably know Koine: I'd imagine especially in the USA with all those christian sects/churches/etc.... there could be some demand for teachers of basic Koine and Latin? they may very well be the only ones having some children and with some invested interest in knowledge of those languages for religious purposes
>>25235819you become a high school teacher in Latin and Greek. Still a decently big thing in European countries, especially Germany.
>>25235870Probably need to be the son of a baron or something like that. The times of today do not reward classical knowledge. They reward things like esports and securities fraud. Sorry. It hurts me too.
>>25235881>esportsLol, lmao
>>25235819There's a guy who translates Japanese material that's never been translated before, mostly Yukio Mishima's essays and articles, on his substack. I don't know how profitable it is but you could try the greek version of that. Who's the greek equivalent of Yukio Mishima?
>>25235904Glaucon
>>25235819Move to inner city Chicago, set up a non-profit that aims to give gangbangers a classical education, start applying for grants and soliciting funding from liberals (retards), and pay yourself very well to sit in a library all day waiting for gangbangers that are never going to show up.
Translation
>>25235915just like running a hospice in cali
>>25235930If you say so.
>>25235904>There's a guy who translates Japanese material that's never been translated before,There is no Homeric or Classical Greek literature that hasn't been translated before.
>>25235819lol
>>25235819The obvious would be giving classes and lectures right? You would have to get into marketing, a example strategy could be teaching ancient philosophy and knowledge and taking your clients to a deeper understanding by teaching them the language with it. Or you could build a strategy around targeting Christians wanting to understand the original text. You have a supply of something for which there is no demand so you need to create the demand first by showcasing the value, an example that comes the mind is Nietszche building a whole philosophy of good and evil from etymology.
>>25235819Go to some tourist place and read/recite Homer. Calliope is the greatest muse anyway so the artists and musicians can go fuck themselves
>>25235819I will hire you as my private tutor. I pay $12 an hour and am known to make sexual advances. Lodging negotiable.
>>25236808Hoover’s Latin was good enough for him to publish a translation of Agricola’s De Re Metallica. The Dover edition is pretty cool.
Before the current dark age of ai meaning llms began, it was a pretty good background for a graduate degree in computational linguistics which could get you a lot of interesting places
>>25238702I know Greek, Latin, and Sanskrit and have published scholarship in the latter. I also have a degree in a STEM field with a 3.9 GPA, the only blemish being from a class I literally couldn't attend because it overlapped with my work hours.Applied for the latest rounds. All rejections, even from mid-tier programs.Shit's bleak. I guess I don't know what I'd even do with such a degree anymore. But then I don't know what I'll even do with this life anymore, when the talking tin-cans do everything "better."
>>25235819You can't. /ourguy/ Luke monopolizes the industry
>>25235819Go down to the fancy club and hobknob with your fellow gentlemen. No doubt they will furnish you with a measure of wealth in a subtle and completely unprompted manner, once they realise a fellow gentlefrog is in need.
>>25238966I know someone making a living from just tutoring (one on one; or in groups). He works like 30 hours a week and makes 6 figures. But then again he lives in a wealthy area.
>>25235819>>25235848In my experience, the literary subcommunity tends to look out for one another and if you find an employer with a similar predisposition you'll often go quite far under their wing. It's so incredibly rare these days for someone to simply read classics, let alone have command of Latin or Greek, that in the right circles you will be much lauded and greatly aided. That includes being offered work you wouldn't have received otherwise.
>>25238777>Applied for the latest rounds. All rejections, even from mid-tier programs.Are you a white man?
>>25239127I'm yellow.
>>25235819sell me this fluency in Greek
>>25235819Translate light reading titles for people to practice. Or Canon material for the whale market; wouldn't mind Paradise Lost in either language. Or find Latin scholastic/occult material that hasn't had something in print for more than a century and fish for academics' reviews with review copies.>>25239209>I'm yellow.Interlinear New Testament Greek in your mother tongue. Put your national epic into Latin & Greek.
>>25239209Sorry, unless you're a lesbian all your oppression points have been used up.
>>25239272true, yellows get the same debuff in burgerland
Make an app for learning itAin't no duolingo for ancient Greek (yet)
>>25239283This. I was just looking it up two days ago. Also the DL course for Latin sucks.
>>25239285did u try rosetta stone for latin?
>>25239289No, is it good?
>>25239293idk i did for arabic and it was not bad but u have to do it a lot it doesn't tell u any grammar rules it just says stuff and then u tap the picture it talked about so ppl are like "i didn't learn anything" like well ya it's not like giving u stuff to memorize it just worms its way into ur subconscious and then when u hear some arabs speaking ur like oh shit i know what he said
>>25235819Ghostwrite for Lil Nas X
>>25235819idk, but where's the classical languages thread?idk where to go for this kind of thing, I can't go to reddit, I'm too blunt and the autistic homosexual transgender anti-fascists will eventually realize I'm not one of them and I'll wind up in one of the adversarial list things they use to spam report and attack, so reddit's out, it's only for homosexual transgenders.
>>25235819Start a niche indie metal band whose songs' lyrics are written entirely in dactylic hexamter
>>25238966Who?
>>25235819>find a girl who’s fascinated by that, ideally rich or with prospects>have a kid>educate kid in classics >also teach them to find a career that pays>be cool respected dad who smokes a pipe and reads books
>>25239266>Interlinear New Testament Greek in your mother tongue. Put your national epic into Latin & Greek.I'm a jap. That would be very unfashionable. I am perhaps a hundred years late at a minimum.
>>25238777I can relate, there's too much talent out there to get hired unless you're a woman then every STEM recruiter is tripping over themselves to hire/enroll you.
>>25235819becoming a professor or teacher you moron
