REGARDING PRONUNCIATION:
There are a lot of comments upset about how we sang the Greek. First of all, to Modern Greek speakers, we are not making fun of you: Ancient Greek sounds quite different to Modern Greek, and we are using the Erasmian pronunciation, which is internationally considered standard amongst classical academics. Please be mindful of this before criticising us.

That said, this video is just us sharing our translation and having a bit of fun doing our best to sing along. We do not study linguistics or put heavy focus on exactly how the language was spoken in our studies, nor how to replicate an Ancient Greek accent; this is just a general guideline of how to sing our translation to the music. It is not intended as a perfect pronunciation guide, and you are free to sing it however you think it should be sung.

REGARDING ἐλευθερος:
When translating this, I (Robert) thought ἐλευθερος was a two-termination adjective, so would be the same for masculine and feminine in the nominative singular. Upon seeing the comments about this, I asked our Associate Professor of Greek and she agreed that it can be two-termination and that ἐλευθερος is fine. I looked in the LSJ to confirm this and it cited it as two-termination in Euripides and Aeschylus. While one might argue that ἐλευθερα is preferable, I maintain that ἐλευθερος is acceptable.
