The character database sounds like it might be really useful. In my pursuit of classical Greek, I rely on concordances to help me find examples of usage as well as suggested forms to focus on. I haven't been reading your daily posts lately; instead, I went back to the beginning of the book and am working my way to the present from there. Eventually I'll catch myself up. I've been using a notebook to record what I've read along with any notes of interesting content, and I've been hitting the like button as an electronic reminder of what I've read, and to indicate to Substack that your previous content is still being appreciated. It would be useful for your advanced followers to be able to bring the chapters together in one place, but for me, progressing through your original posts provide me with bite-sized pieces that are easily read in the moments that I find throughout the day to enjoy them.
Appreciate the work you put into this substack all while maintaining a full time job! You’ve delivered a translation with a high level of supportive detail at a steady clip. David Hawkes, who had the luxury to resign from his position at Oxford and focus solely on the novel, took years to complete a translation with only an iota of the supporting notes you have. A true effort on your part!
