Question
Hi Maria,
I was wondering if you could tell me what "live forever or die trying" is in Ancient Greek please, and if not that exact phrase something along those lines? PLEASE

Reagards,
Sam

Answer
Hi Sam,

Here’s the translation you asked me:

“Biou eis aeì  he thnéske peiròn”.

This is the Latin transliteration of the ancient Greek text, i.e. the ancient Greek phrase written in  Latin alphabet we use still today.
This because the system often does not allow to use the Greek letters and diacritic marks.

Anyway here‘s  the above phrase written in ancient Greek alphabet, hoping you can read them:

“Βίου εις αεί η θνήσκε πειρων “.

Best regards,
Maria
