Latin Words in Ancient and Byzantine Greek, with Eleanor Dickey

Byzantium & Friends, Episode 122: A conversation with Eleanor Dickey on Latin words in ancient and Byzantine Greek. Eleanor has tracked them down and compiled them in a specialized dictionary, where she also offers new arguments about when, how, and why they were borrowed by Greek-speakers. It reaches down to 600 AD, but many of them survived later too, even into modern spoken Greek.

Eleanor Dickey is Professor of Classics at the University of Reading, where she specialises in the history of the Latin and Greek languages.  This conversation is based on her book, Latin Loanwords in Ancient Greek: A Lexicon and Analysis (Cambridge University Press, 2023).
