why do you study ancient languages? so much interesting was written in modern languages. is it really not worth your attention?

well, berashith, modern languages are based on the ancient ones, so they aren't entirely devoid of interest.

the virgin excuse

Whereas modern languages (at least in the West) are nominally oriented or noun-centric (thing centric, stuff centric), classic Greek from Homeric to Attic is verbally oriented, that is action itself (as opposed to who acts or what is acted upon) is at the center of one's deepest considerations. Learn to read and think in Greek and it will completely modify the way (you) think now for the better. In short, discover for yourself why ideas still in use 'literally' flew out of this language.
The short answer is because classical languages are more alive than soi-disants living ones.

Because I want to read Plato and Aristotle?

This

Imagine being such a hopeless monolingual angoltrash that you think that merely having a normal non-degenerated verb inflection system is somehow unique or special.

there are the great translations

I can also read it myself without an intermediate.
