Welcome! Salve! XAIPE!

"For a while as an infant I certainly knew no Latin, and yet by paying attention I leaned with any fear or unpleasntness between the crooning of nburse and the teasing of jokers and the laughter of playmates. I learnt Latin without any pressure of punishment from others, since my heart urged me to produce its own thoughts...from people talking to me, in whose ears I gave birth to whatever I felt" -- Augustine, Confessions 1.14.23

This page contains links to Podcasts of readings of Latin and (ancient) Greek texts. Although many have been produced under the auspices of Haverford College, those recorded and placed in the public domain by others are also listed. If you would like to have your Classics Podcast listed here, please email bmulliga[at]haverford[dot]edu.

Some Podcast are provided in two styles:

"Natural" -- these readings seeks to capture the sound, rhythm, and pace of natural speech and performance.

"Study-Speed" -- these readings are slowed down, with articulation, word groups, and clauses emphasized; perfect for elucidating word groups and reviewing.

You can subscribe to a Podcast in iTunes using iTunes by clicking on the "[iTunes]" link following the Podcast listing, or using another RSS reader by clicking on the "[RSS]" link.
