Why is Latin more popular than Ancient Greek?
Greetings, everyone,
First of all, I don’t know any Latin, but I taught myself Ancient Greek.
I was looking at the Found in Antiquity website and noticed that Latin was much more popular than Ancient Greek by a wide margin. I had always assumed there were more interesting texts in ancient Greek and therefore more reasons to learn Greek than Latin.
From your perspective, what were your reasons for studying Latin? And why do you think it is more popular than Ancient Greek?
