Maybe you'll never read this, but a thought...
I've basically run out of new movies to watch, which are good. Yet some movies over the years, maybe a few every year, are quite good.
The further back I go, the more nuanced (from my perspective) the comedy or comments can become. And further, the more I may "miss" without looking deeply into topical, timely events.
Some stuff literally makes zero sense, then you google, learn something about that specific time, and "oh, I get it". And I'm just talking the 60s or 50s here.
And that's what I can google, which 100% doesn't even remotely give the feeling, the nuance, of actually living in that time. All the quirks, all the jokes, all the in humour.
Words become slang, meaning changes, then that slang falls out of favour.
My point in all of this?
I don't think we have proper, 100% accurate nuance of latin, with properly mapped slang and meanings of words, over 1000s of years.
(And this joke may have been greecian too, but who knows)
