In that class, time bent. The optative mood taught us how to speak of what could never be. And one night, under the flickering fluorescent light, I finally understood: we were not learning a dead language. We were learning to say I am still here —in a voice three thousand years old.

La clase de griego wasn't a class. It was a small boat. And every week, we sailed a little further from the shore of forgetting.

By the end, we didn't speak Greek fluently. But we learned to read the spaces between what people say.

María, the professor, had eyes the color of olive stones. "The verb eimi ," she would say, "means 'I am.' But in Greek, to be is not static. It is to exist, to breathe, to become." And so we became. We declined nouns like we were trying to organize chaos. We translated sentences about gods and wars while secretly translating our own loneliness, our own small victories.

We learned to write "ἄνθρωπος" — human. To look at the word and see ourselves: imperfect, aspirated, longing.
