So far, this translation does not speak to me.
"The shock of encountering an ancient author speaking in largely recognizable language can make him seem more strange, and newly strange."
Perhaps it can, or could, for some, but I find so far that it doesn't for me.

Hahaha no but there is an instant or 'chock-full'. Other than these few haltingly cringe word choices, however, I'm kind of sinking into the plainness and directness of it. There's still a lot of beauty inherent in what's described, even if it's lacking a little something in style.
