Another consideration in reading for comprehension in Greek, at least in
Homer, is the problem of reading dactylic hexameter despite the accents. I can
read the language as "prose" (with the proper accents) and (sort of)
understand it, but when I switch to reading the meter, my comprehension goes
out the door. It takes several readings to bring the two mental functions into
congruence.
