You should do one of these but with background nature sounds of like birds or a running spring, as if you were in a small column-like building in the middle of nature listening to Aristotle or Socrates giving their lectures, maybe even some harp music. Or a busy marketplace where the philosophers used to speak
When will you venture into the great orations found in Thucydides' books? Also, Plutarch's Parallel Lives - for example, the lives of Alcibiades, Pericles, Cicero, Demosthenes, Cato the Elder, Julius Caesar, Themistocles etc - would make for amazing audiobooks of reasonable lengths! Also.....more Plato, please? I'd love for you to do dialogues like Menexenus, Hippias Major, Protagoras, Gorgias, Charmides etc.
I admire your wish and, yes it's a hard language today as it's not really spoken on the streets any more, but we all work for a passing solution :-) It needs a lot of effort but it is also a long term pleasure for life
This is perfect..the aspirates, the long vowels, I don't know much about pitch accent but it seems correct, I feel like I'm hearing japanese.
Εύγε κύριε Στρατάκη!

Κάλλιστον, ὤριστε!
χάρις σοι Λουκᾶ!

this goes to a dramatized version, which is a nce idea, but "1st things 1st" :-)
