It's worse. There are at least six past tenses, and you're expected to
know them all. When I heard about that, I dropped it like a hot potato,
and kept Latin.


I presume Greek as spoken in the classical period; that is, roughly
around the Persian and Pelepponesian wars. Most of the great classic
authors wrote during that period, beginning with Aischylos and ending
with Xenophon. Homer was a couple of centuries earlier, and was
considered historical and old-fashioned (but highly important) already.

I guess one should just be born there and learn it from their mother's
teat. A time machine and a vial of sperm should do the job...
