I enjoyed the first short story I read here, "Katundi me gjuhë të fshehtë" (and how could I resist that title?), a psychological tale or ghost story that vaguely reminded me of Carlos Fuentes' "Aura". But as Camaj wrote exclusively in the Geg dialect, which I can only tolerate in small doses, I think I'll set this collection aside for a while.

Now things are really moving.

Κρ. σὲ δή, σὲ τὴν νεύουσαν ἐς πέδον κάρα,
φής, ἤ καταρνῆι μὴ δεδρακέναι τάδε;
Αν. καὶ φημ‘ δρᾶσαι κοὐκ ἀπαρνοῦμαι τὸ μή.

Now past the “Πολλὰ τὰ δεινὰ” song, which has got to be an unrelated text that was merely repurposed for this play.

Enjoying this first dive into Greek drama so far, but in a text with commentary like "This single period contains five enjambments, anaphora, alliteration, and strained word order", much slower going than the Greek prose I was used to reading.
