i stop at a smattering of greek:
Ὦ ξεῖν', ἀγγέλλειν Λακεδαιμονίοις ὅτι τῇδε
κείμεθα, τοῖς κείνων ῥήμασι πειθόμενοι.
i use the latin translation of simonides' inscription on the grave of the 300 in my signature tho for consistency.
and to think the romans used to consider us germanic people as 'barbarians'. silivius berlusconius eat your heart out...
