Alindethra
Alindethra ( Ἀλινδήθρα from ancient Greek ἡ ἀλινδήθρα alindḗthra "Tummel- or Wälzplatz") was a German magazine that was aimed at Greek students in upper secondary school and interested laypeople. It was first published by Beacon-Verlag in Bad Dürkheim in 1954, but for economic reasons it had to be discontinued in 1967 after the 14th year appeared. The Latin counterpart Tiro - magazine for Latin , also launched by Beacon-Verlag in 1954, still exists today (as of January 2018).
The aim of the Alindethra was to promote ancient Greek teaching. It was the only magazine whose articles were partly written in ancient Greek, but the entire range of the Greek language including modern Greek was covered. The authors were teachers and classical philologists such as Wilhelm Kuchenmüller , Gerhard Pfohl , Udo Reinhardt , Wilfried Stroh and Hildebrecht Hommel . The contributions were devoted to inscriptions and toasts, comprised modern ancient Greek poems and translations of Latin and modern authors into Greek, for example from Horace 's Epistulae 1, 4 or Wilhelm Busch's Max and Moritz .
