Modern Greek (1453-): 
Ἄρκτος: ΧΑΙΡΕΤΕ ΠΑΝΤΕΣ!
ΟΝΟΜΑ ΜΟΙ ΕΣΤΙΝ ΑΡΚΤΟΣ.  ΕΓΩ ΕΙΜΙ ΕΥΔΟΞΟΣ ΑΘΛΗΤΗΣ ΚΑΙ ΣΤΡΑΤΙΩΤΗΣ.
ΜΕΜΑΧΗΜΑΙ ΕΝ ΙΛΙΩΙ  ΜΕΤΑ ΤΩΝ ΕΤΑΙΡΩΝ ΑΧΙΛΛΗΟΣ, ΑΓΑΜΕΜΝΟΝΟΣ, ΟΔΥΣΣΕΩΣ ΚΑΙ ΑΛΛΩΝ ΑΧΑΙΩΝ.
Ἄρκτος: ΤΗΜΕΡΟΝ ΒΟΥΛΟΜΑΙ ΥΜΙΝ ΔΕΙΞΑΙ ΠΩΣ ΟΠΤΑΝ ΤΑ ΚΡΕΑ ΚΑΙ PARASKEYAZEIN ΔΑΙΤΑ ΩΣ ΗΡΩΕΣ ΟΜΕΡΙΚΟΙ.
ΔΑΙΣ ΟΝΟΜΑ ΕΣΤΙΝ ΑΠΟ ΡΗΜΑΤΩΝ ΔΑΙΩ ΚΑΙ ΔΑΙΝΥΜΙ.
Ἀγάπη: Οὗτος ἐστιν δαιτρός τῶν κρεῶν.
Ὁ πατήρ: Χαίρετε.
Ἄρκτος: ΗΔΙΣΤΟΝ ΤΟΥ ΒΙΟΥ ΕΣΤΙΝ ΔΑΙΝΥNAI.
ΩΣ ΟΔΥΣΣΕΥΣ ΕΙΠΕ ΤΩΙ ΒΑΣΙΛΕΙ ΟΝΟΜΑΤΙ ΑΛΚΙΝΟΙ:

English: 
Bear:  HELLO EVERYONE!
MY NAME IS BEAR. I AM A FAMOUS ATHLETE AND SOLDIER.
I HAVE FOUGHT IN TROY WITH MY COMRADES ACHILLES, AGAMEMNON, ODYSSEUS, AND OTHER GREEKS.
Bear: TODAY I WANT TO SHOW YOU HOW TO ROAST MEAT AND PREPARE A FEAST LIKE HOMERIC HEROES.
δαίς “FEAST” IS A WORD THAT COMES FROM THE VERBS δαίω “TO DIVIDE” AND δαίνυμι “TO FEAST.”
Luby: He is the δαιτρός “carver/divider” of the meat.
Dad: Hi all.
Bear: THE MOST PLEASANT THING IN LIFE IS TO FEAST.
JUST AS ODYSSEUS SAID TO KING ALCINOUS:

Modern Greek (1453-): 
οὐ γὰρ ἐγώ γε τί φημι τέλος χαριέστερον εἶναι
ἢ ὅτ᾽ ἐυφροσύνη μὲν ἔχῃ κάτα δῆμον ἅπαντα,
δαιτυμόνες δ᾽ ἀνὰ δώματ᾽ ἀκουάζωνται ἀοιδοῦ
ἥμενοι ἑξείης, παρὰ δὲ πλήθωσι τράπεζαι
σίτου καὶ κρειῶν, μέθυ δ᾽ ἐκ κρητῆρος ἀφύσσων
οἰνοχόος φορέῃσι καὶ ἐγχείῃ δεπάεσσι (Od. 9.5-10).
Ἄρκτος: ΤΗΜΕΡΟΝ ΠΑΡΑΣΚΕΥΑΣΟΜΕΝ ΤΗΝ ΔΑΙΤΑ ΩΣ ΠΑΤΡΟΚΛΟΣ ΕΠΟΙΗΣΕ ΕΝ ΤΟΥ ΑΧΙΛΗΟΣ ΚΛΙΣΙΑΙ.
Ο ΓΑΡ ΑΧΙΛΛΕΥΣ ΗΙΤΗΣΕ ΑΥΤΟΝ ΠΑΡΑΣΚΕΥΑΖΕΙΝ ΤΑ ΚΡΕΑ.
ὣς φάτο, Πάτροκλος δὲ φίλῳ ἐπεπείθεθ᾽ ἑταίρῳ.
αὐτὰρ ὅ γε μέγα κάββαλεν ἐν πυρὸς αὐγῇ,

English: 
“For I say that nothing is more pleasant than when good cheer takes hold of the whole land,
and guests all over the house listen to a singer while sitting in order,
and beside them the tables groan heavy with bread and meats,
and drawing wine from the krater, the wine-pourer brings and pours it into goblets.” (Od. 9.5-10)
Bear: TODAY WE WILL PREPARE A FEAST AS PATROCLUS DOES IN ACHILLES’ TENT.
FOR ACHILLES ASKED HIM TO PREPARE THE MEAT:
“Thus spoke Achilles, and Patroclus obeyed his dear comrade.
He threw down a big meat-tray in the glow of the fire,

Modern Greek (1453-): 
ἐν δ᾽ ἄρα νῶτον ἔθηκ᾽ ὄϊος καὶ πίονος αἰγός,
ἐν δὲ συὸς σιάλοιο ῥάχιν τεθαλυῖαν ἀλοιφῇ.
Ὗς: τί;
τῷ δ᾽ ἔχεν Αὐτομέδων, τάμνεν δ᾽ ἄρα δῖος Ἀχιλλεύς
καὶ τὰ μὲν εὖ μίστυλλε καὶ ἀμφ᾽ ὀβελοῖσιν ἔπειρε,
πῦρ δὲ Μενοιτιάδης δαῖεν μέγα ἰσόθεος φώς.
αὐτὰρ ἐπεὶ κατὰ πῦρ ἐκάη καὶ φλὸξ ἐμαράνθη,
ἀνθρακιὴν στορέσας ὀβελοὺς ἐφύπερθε τάνυσσε,
πάσσε δ᾽ ἁλὸς θείοιο κρατευτάων ἐπαείρας.

English: 
and he put on it the back of a ram and of a fat goat,
and the luxuriously greasy lower back of a fat hog.
Pig: What?!
And Automedon held them for him as divine Achilles cut them.
And he cut them up well and pierced them with spits,
and son of Menoetius, a man like a god, kindled a great fire.
But when the fire died down and the flame was quenched,
having scattered the embers, he stretched the spits atop,
and sprinkled divine salt on them after setting them on the stone.

Modern Greek (1453-): 
αὐτὰρ ἐπεί ῥ᾽ ὤπτησε καὶ εἰν ἐλεοῖσιν ἔχευε,
Πάτροκλος μὲν σῖτον ἑλὼν ἐπένειμε τραπέζῃ
καλοῖς ἐν κανέοισιν, ἀτὰρ κρέα νεῖμεν Ἀχιλλεύς. (Iliad 9.205 - 217)
Ἀγάπη: αὐτὰρ ἐπεὶ πόσιος καὶ ἐδητύος ἐξ ἔρον ἕντο (Il.9.92, Il. 222, et cet.)
Ὁ πατήρ: καιρός ἐστι καθεύδειν.
Ἄρκτος: ΟΥΤΩΣ ΟΥΝ ΟΙ ΟΜΗΡΙΚΟΙ ΗΡΩΕΣ ΔΑΙΝΥΝΤΟ.

English: 
But when he roasted them and poured them on meat-boards,
Patroclus took bread and dealt it on the table in beautiful baskets
as Achilles distributed the meat.” (Iliad 9.205 - 217)
Luby: And when they had their fill of drink and meat…
Dad: It’s about time to sleep.
Bear: THIS IS HOW HOMERIC HEROES WERE FEASTING.

Modern Greek (1453-): 
ΧΑΡΙΝ ΥΜΙΝ ΕΧΩ ΔΕΥΡΟ ΕΛΗΛΥΘΟΣΙΝ. ΕΡΡΩΣΘΕ!

English: 
THANK YOU FOR WATCHING. FARE WELL!
