| description | Background/Objectives: This article explores the use of Ancient Greek as a prompt language in DALL·E 3, an Artificial Intelligence software for image generation. The research investigates three dimensions of Artificial Intelligence’s ability: (a) the sense and visualization of the concept of distance, (b) the mixing of representational as well as mythic contents, and (c) the visualization of emotions. More specifically, the research not only investigates AI’s potentialities in processing and representing Ancient Greek texts but also attempts to assess its interpretative boundaries. The key question is whether AI can faithfully represent the underlying conceptual and narrative structures of ancient literature or whether its representations are superficial and constrained by algorithmic procedures. Methods: This is a mixed-methods experimental research design examining whether a specified Artificial Intelligence software can sense, understand, and graphically represent linguistic and conceptual structures in the Ancient Greek language. Results: The study highlights Artificial Intelligence’s possibility in classical language education as well as digital humanities regarding linguistic complexity versus AI’s power in interpretation.
