The blog series, in publication order. Each post carries an emoji at its heading level marking the authorial voice; the legend lives in Post 1 below.
🧭 Index of posts
- 0. 🧐 Initial essay — Nick’s editor-voice opening: why this rendering, what it found, the despondency-to-affirmation arc.
- 1. 🧭 A note to the reader on how this is structured — orientation to the two-pass apparatus, the audience, and the emoji legend.
- I. The Courtly Exordium (§1–§4) — Carney’s French opening, rendered into Ciceronian Latin.
- I bis. The Courtly Exordium, in Greek (§1–§4, the alternative not taken) — the Greek alternative that the diglossic policy retired, kept for the reader who wants to hear what the unified-Greek version would have sounded like.
- II–XVI. The Demosthenic body — §5–§70 of the speech, §-range per post, each with Carney’s original, the Greek translation with back-translation, and the per-§ commentary (first pass + second-pass updates).
- B–H. 🔭 Reflections — six posts of meta-commentary on what the rendering exhibits: register-yielding (B), strengths (C), weaknesses (D), what Nick’s role did (E), case studies in the collaboration (F), AI-driven pedagogy patterns (G), what this rendering actually is (H).
- 0 bis – 0 ter – 0 quater. 🤖 Initial essay, in Psellan-Byzantine Greek — three posts of the parallel Psellan rendering of Nick’s Post 0, with the captured working as apparatus.
- J. 🧐 Envoi — Nick’s parting word.
- K. 🤖🧐 Workings — the full editorial decisions log — the fifty-five D-row decisions in full deliberation form, plus the cross-cutting summary blocks (rules-vs-laws, coercion-as-yoke, sustained vocabulary, etc.).
- Notes. 📑 Footnotes — gloss apparatus for classicist terms and recurring conventions.
