Linguistic variety in Europe Czech ZŠ Brno, Herčíkova 19 Czech Republic

Development of Indo-European groups of languages-Greece development The oldest known language of the Greek language branch is Mycenaean (Crete and mainland Greece); it was initially written using a previously unseen linear font A. Roughly from the 14th century BC, the linear font B began to be used to write the first preserved written relics. Linear B was deciphered in 1952 by Michael Ventris, followed by John Chadwick and Antonín Bartoněk. Other preserved evidence of the Greek form dates back to the 8th century BC from Italy and Greece, especially Homer's poems written in the Ionic dialect. Literary monuments from the 6th to the 4th century BC illustrate classical Greek, whose attic form is still taught as ancient Greek. Even classical Greek did not have a unified form, but occurred in various dialects. Each strain cultivates in its dialect a certain literary kind: Doros → Doric (choral lyric) Atticans → attic (tragedy, philosophy, political science) Ionic → ionic (epic, historiographic prose) Aiolic → aiolic

Europe's kidnapping text Latin version non bene conveniunt nec in una sede morantur maiestas et amor; sceptri gravitate relicta ille pater rectorque deum, cui dextra trisulcis ignibus armata est, qui nutu concutit orbem, induitur faciem tauri mixtusque iuvencis mugit et in teneris formosus obambulat herbis. quippe color nivis est, quam nec vestigia duri calcavere pedis nec solvit aquaticus auster. colla toris exstant, armis palearia pendent, cornua vara quidem, sed quae contendere possis facta manu, puraque magis perlucida gemma. nullae in fronte minae, nec formidabile lumen: pacem vultus habet. miratur Agenore nata, quod tam formosus, quod proelia nulla minetur; sed quamvis mitem metuit contingere primo, mox adit et flores ad candida porrigit ora. gaudet amans et, dum veniat sperata voluptas, oscula dat manibus; vix iam, vix cetera differt; et nunc adludit viridique exsultat in herba, nunc latus in fulvis niveum deponit harenis; paulatimque metu dempto modo pectora praebet virginea plaudenda manu, modo cornua sertis inpedienda novis; ausa est quoque regia virgo nescia, quem premeret, tergo considere tauri, cum deus a terra siccoque a litore sensim falsa pedum primis vestigia ponit in undis; inde abit ulterius mediique per aequora ponti fert praedam: pavet haec litusque ablata relictum respicit et dextra cornum tenet, altera dorso inposita est; tremulae sinuantur flamine vestes.

English version Royalty and love do not sit well together, nor stay long in the same house. So the father and ruler of the gods, who is armed with the three-forked lightning in his right hand, whose nod shakes the world, setting aside his royal sceptre, took on the shape of a bull, lowed among the other cattle, and, beautiful to look at, wandered in the tender grass. In colour he was white as the snow that rough feet have not trampled and the rain-filled south wind has not melted. The muscles rounded out his neck, the dewlaps hung down in front, the horns were twisted, but one might argue they were made by hand, purer and brighter than pearl. His forehead was not fearful, his eyes were not formidable, and his expression was peaceful. Agenor’s daughter marvelled at how beautiful he was and how unthreatening. But though he seemed so gentle she was afraid at first to touch him. Soon she drew close and held flowers out to his glistening mouth. The lover was joyful and while he waited for his hoped-for pleasure he kissed her hands. He could scarcely separate then from now. At one moment he frolicks and runs riot in the grass, at another he lies down, white as snow on the yellow sands. When her fear has gradually lessened he offers his chest now for virgin hands to pat and now his horns to twine with fresh wreaths of flowers. The royal virgin even dares to sit on the bull’s back, not realising whom she presses on, while the god, first from dry land and then from the shoreline, gradually slips his deceitful hooves into the waves. Then he goes further out and carries his prize over the mid-surface of the sea. She is terrified and looks back at the abandoned shore she has been stolen from and her right hand grips a horn, the other his back, her clothes fluttering, winding, behind her in the breeze.

Czech version Královská výsost a láska spolu nesedí a nezůstanou dlouho ve stejném domě. Otec a vládce bohů, který je vyzbrojen třemi vidlicovými blesky v pravé ruce, jejichž rána otřásá světem. Odloží své královské žezlo, vzal si podobu býka, sraženého mezi ostatní dobytek a byl na ně krásný pohled, putovali v jemné trávě. Byl bílý jako sníh, který drsné nohy nešlapaly a déšť naplněný jižní vítr se neroztavil. Svaly mu zakulatily krk, laloky visely vpředu, rohy byly zkroucené, ale bylo by možné tvrdit, že byly vyrobeny ručně, čistší a jasnější než perla. Nebál se, měl klidný výraz a jeho oči nebyly impozantní. Agenorova dcera se divila, jak je krásný a jak je poklidný. Ale i když se zdálo, že je tak jemný, zpočátku se ho bála dotýkat. Brzy se přiblížila a mírně mu dala květiny k jeho lesklým ústům. Milovník byl pln radosti a zatímco čekal na jeho nadějné štěstí, políbil jí ruce. Odtud se sotva mohl oddělit. V jednu chvíli se vytrhl a běží vzpoura v trávě, u jiného leží, bílý jako sníh na žlutém písku. Když se její strach postupně zmenšoval, nabízí nyní hrudník pro panenské ruce, aby si mohl pokleknout, a teď se mu jeho rohy motou s čerstvými věnci květin. Královská panna se dokonce odváží sedět na býčích zádech, aniž by si uvědomila, na koho tlačí, zatímco bůh, nejprve ze suché země a pak z pobřeží, postupně vlní svá klamavá kopyta do vln. Pak jde dále ven a nese svou cenu nad hladinou moře. Je vyděšená a ohlédne se na opuštěné pobřeží, odkud byla ukradena, a pravá ruka sevře roh, druhá záda, šaty se třpytí, vinutí, za ní ve větru.
