What's the level of mutual intelligibility/transferrenc between ancient/modern Greek?

[Brave Brave Sir Robin]

this is disappointing. thank you Brave Brave Sir Robin!

i am already going well into Latin at this point so learning 2 non living languages is just too much time 'wasted' so to speak. Latin has already shown itself to be immensely helpful and it still does have a second language speaking community (in fact im sure most of us here know 101 level at the least due to our interest in history)

but ancient Greek is too too specific at that point if it's only marginally useful in learning modern Greek. I'll just stick to Lattimore to give me the power of the tongue

I should have specified but I'm not referring to ancient and modern Greek. I'm taking ancient Greek and Latin and I was replying to the previous post comparing those two. I'm not qualified to compare ancient and modern Greek as I have no experience with the latter.
