This volume celebrates six such languages - Ancient Greek, Latin, Old English, Sanskrit, Old Irish, and Biblical Hebrew - by first introducing listeners to their most distinctive features, then showing how these linguistic traits play out in short excerpts from actual ancient texts. It explores, for instance, how Homer’s Greek shows signs of oral composition, how Horace achieves striking poetic effects through interlaced word order in his Latin, and how the poet of Beowulf attains remarkable intensity of expression through the resources of Old English. But these are languages that have shared connections as well. Listeners will understand how the Sanskrit of the Rig Veda uses words that come from roots found also in English, how turns of phrase characteristic of the Hebrew Bible found their way into English, and that even as unusual a language as Old Irish still builds on common Indo-European linguistic patterns.
Very few people have the opportunity to learn these languages, and they can often seem mysterious and inaccessible: Drawing on a lucid and engaging writing style and with the aid of clear English translations throughout, this book aims to give all listeners, whether scholars, students, or interested novices, an aesthetic appreciation of just how rich and varied they are.

Thanks! To answer the question of Epub or PDF, I think Epub is better for fiction (since you’re more likely to just read it through, perhaps on a reading tablet or phone, so that adaptive formatting is wanted), while PDF is better for non-fiction (since you’re more likely to refer to specific sections, and most probably on a computer), especially if it includes diagrams or other visual materials where you want the formatting to be fixed.

EPUB is safer from a security perspective.

Thanks.
I prefer EPUB, but PDF is also appreciated.

@Hausa I agree
@ssafe05 True, but is it worth suffering through crappy diagrams?
Would it bother you if I included both?

When playing the “either or game”, the options should be exciting or at least mildly salacious. EPUB is an acronym for a retro-tech-noir bar and PDF is an abbreviation for a kinky night with your college girlfriend in apartment 4-F (where all visitors and occupants are “considered” morally unfit for military duty).
