Question
Whats the greek translation for "Dont Let The Bastards Grind You Down"

Answer
Hello,

In ANCIENT GREEK which is my field of expertise(view my profile) there is no literal translation for such a phrase.
The ancient Greek warriors in fact would have said simply something like ”Be courageous” which in ancient Greek would sound as follows:

“Sautňn paréche kalňn kagathόn”.

Note that this Greek sentence is written in Latin letters as the system does not allow the use of the Greek alphabet which should be as follows:Σαυτον παρεχε καλον καγαθόν, though I suppose you cannot read it.

Bye,
Maria
