What an interesting lecture, in such conducive surroundings. I recently began to read Auden and this lecture has helped me to find a way into Auden's work. Thanks
Thanks for sorting out Dave Lehman's ancient Greek, JamBrop. Though Lehman's pronunciation of ancient Greek may not be as exemplary as yours, he does seem to know a thing or two about the lecture topic - WH Auden!
FYI: Correct, @crazymarine: Philoctetes (Φιλοκτήτης) Philoctētēs, or stess on the penultimate (next to last) syllable. Alas, I, too, pretend, at times, to know anything, but, as a non-existing illusion, I lie.
