| 0:00.0 | Hey guys, I'm Ray Belli and I'm the host of The Words for Granted podcast. |
| 0:06.5 | Ryan has graciously given me the opportunity to tell all of you a little bit about my show, so let me get right to it. |
| 0:15.0 | Words for granted is a linguistics podcast that looks at how words change over time. |
| 0:21.0 | Each episode looks at the evolution of a single word. When we use a word, any |
| 0:28.9 | word, we seldom ask ourselves where that word came from. We seldom ask ourselves what that word used to mean or what it used to sound like |
| 0:40.1 | a hundred years ago or 3,000 years ago. Of course, most of the words that we use on a daily |
| 0:49.7 | basis can be traced back this far. |
| 0:53.0 | Sometimes the history of a word will take us to England, France, Rome, or of course to Greece, among many other places. |
| 1:03.7 | Now, luckily for you, you won't need a degree in linguistics |
| 1:07.6 | in order to enjoy words for granted. |
| 1:10.6 | Instead of using academic linguistic terminology, I rely on history and culture as a way of understanding language, more specifically language change. |
| 1:22.0 | After all, words are influenced by real people, real societies, and real historical events, |
| 1:29.0 | so in a way, if we're looking from the right angle, we can say that words are like little windows |
| 1:36.4 | into the past. |
| 1:38.0 | This idea that if words could speak, they'd have stories to tell is what first sparked my interest in this topic many |
| 1:45.8 | years ago and it's the foundational premise of my show. |
| 1:50.2 | I hope this little introduction sparks the same interest in you and that you take a listen. |
| 1:55.0 | Earlier this year, Ryan actually contributed to one of my episodes on the topic of tyranny. |
| 2:02.0 | As listeners of the History of Ancient Greece podcast, that might be a great place for you to jump in. |
| 2:08.0 | Again, the podcast is called Words for Granted, and you can find it on all major podcasting platforms. |
| 2:16.0 | Thanks Ryan. Over to you. The So, The Hello and welcome back to the history of ancient Greece. |
| 3:04.0 | Episode 57, Classical paintings. |
