About

Jenny Teichmann

Jenny studied Classical Philology at Humboldt University (Berlin) where she received her MA in 2019. She has taught numerous Greek and Latin classes online and in person, working for organizations like the Paideia Institute, New York, and Cultura Clásica, Madrid. In 2023 she founded Argos Ancient Greek as a hub for Ancient Greek books, articles, and YouTube videos.

Jenny loves the countryside and lives with Argos and the rest of her family in rural Germany, outside of Berlin.

Argos

Argos is the only dog known today to have mastered Ancient Greek. Unfortunately, his pronunciation can be a bit rough at times, so most of his words just sound like “Woof!”.

Argos is named after the faithful dog of Odysseus who waited twenty years for his master to return. You can read more about this famous namesake here.

Teachers

Thanks to our great team of professionals, we can regularly offer Ancient Greek online classes for learners of all levels.

Karolina Doušová

Karolina teaches Latin and Ancient Greek as living languages in Prague (at Charles University and at “Gymnázium Jaroslava Seiferta”). She has taught various spoken Latin and Greek classes, in person as well as online, e.g. for Cultura Clásica in Madrid, Spain, for the Paideia Institute, New York, and for Oxford Latinitas.

Josef Chlachula

Josef (Ἰωσήφ) grew up in Minnesota and now lives in Prague, Czechia, where he has earned his master’s degree in classical philology. His main interests are in Greek poetry and Stoic philosophy and has previously taught classes on these topics at Argos Ancient Greek. He has participated in and led seminars at several conferences and workshops for spoken Ancient Greek.

Joanna Thornhill

Joanna Thornhill was born and raised in sunny Los Angeles, California. She studied Liberal Arts at St. John’s College in Santa Fe, New Mexico. She has a great passion for ancient languages and is particularly interested in how to actively use and teach them in a way that is both comprehensible to students and faithful to the idiom and usage of the ancient writers. She has taught a variety of students Greek and Latin both in individual and group settings. Outside of her studies, she enjoys hiking and baking.

Roberto Salazar

Roberto Salazar is a seminomadic classicist and polyglot obsessed with speaking Greek, Latin and Arabic and trying to always stick to proper Platonic idiom (and failing, of course). Now an Athenian, a ποτε fellow of the Ecole Normale Supérieure, and often a Cairo resident, he still dreams of Paris while guiding students through the mazes of ancient Knossos and the packed cavea of the theater of Epidaurus.
