Why is reading books from greek and roman times so difficult? Am I just a brainlet or does it come with practice?

>hurr let's just let every unqualified idiot decide about the matters of the state
>hurr let's just let the people who are only after money be in charge of educating our young people
I told you.

None of this is anything new. Post-truth is just a buzzword that has come up because the common ideology of the 21st century (which doesn't care about truth either) is being threatened.

I think there's a couple people who'd disagree wih that statement.

Damn him. Opening my eyes to see all the faults; yet making me a fault to society. There's nothing more to live for in this corruption; let the frigid blade take quick to my neck.

I'm trying to teach myself Attic Greek. Would a kind person tell me if the following pronunciations I'm using are correct?
ἀρετή - AH-RET-AY
ἀρχή - AR-KAY
γνώμη - GNO-MAY
δίkη - DEE-KAY
ἑορτή - EH-OR-TAY
λύπη - LUU-PAY
μηχανή - MAY-KA-NAY
νίkη - NEE-KAY
σιγή - SEE-GAY
τέχνη - TECH-NAY
Thank you for any help. This language is pretty challenging, but I'm thinking that an hour or so of studying every day will allow me to improve.

I remember reading something about how Jesus' 'virgin' birth may just be a mistranslation of being birthed by a very young woman. Can anybody confirm this?
