In a heartfelt appeal, the speaker from Gortyn addresses the Italian and Western audience, lamenting the fall of Greece while urging them to embrace Greek virtues and education. The discourse critiques the current methods of teaching Greek literature in Latin, arguing that such practices dilute the essence of Greek thought and language. The speaker advocates for a return to authentic Greek education, emphasizing grammar as foundational to all learning. He proposes establishing a museum in Italy to teach Greek effectively, promising to produce competent students who can appreciate and carry forward Greek wisdom.
