remove_accents.py (remove all accents from a polytonic Greek document)

Post by djemos »

remove_accents.py
This is a python program to remove all accents from a polytonic ancient Greek document

Usage: python ./remove_accents.py polytonic_file monotonic_file

Save your ancient Greek polytonic text to a file e.g. polyt.txt then run

python ./remove_accents.py polyt.txt mono.txt

if you have python3 also installed then run
python3 ./remove_accents.py polyt.txt mono.txt

You will get the new text with no accents in file mono.txt
==Ancient doc ==
Ὦ κοινὸν αὐτάδελφον Ἰσμήνης κάρα,
ἆρ᾿ οἶσθ᾿ ὅ τι Ζεὺς τῶν ἀπ᾿ Οἰδίπου κακῶν
ὁποῖον οὐχὶ νῷν ἔτι ζώσαιν τελεῖ
Οὐδὲν γὰρ οὔτ᾿ ἀλγεινὸν οὔτ᾿ ἄτης ἄτερ
οὔτ᾿ αἰσχρὸν οὔτ᾿ ἄτιμόν ἐσθ᾿ ὁποῖον οὐ
τῶν σῶν τε κἀμῶν οὐκ ὄπωπ᾿ ἐγὼ κακῶν.
Καὶ νῦν τί τοῦτ᾿ αὖ φασι πανδήμῳ πόλει
κήρυγμα θεῖναι τὸν στρατηγὸν ἀρτίως;
Ἔχεις τι κεἰσήκουσας; ἤ σε λανθάνει
πρὸς τοὺς φίλους στείχοντα τῶν ἐχθρῶν κακά;

== mono.txt ===
Ω κοινον αυταδελφον Ισμηνης καρα,
αρ᾿ οισθ᾿ ο τι Ζευς των απ᾿ Οιδιπου κακων
οποιον ουχι νων ετι ζωσαιν τελει
Ουδεν γαρ ουτ᾿ αλγεινον ουτ᾿ ατης ατερ
ουτ᾿ αισχρον ουτ᾿ ατιμον εσθ᾿ οποιον ου
των σων τε καμων ουκ οπωπ᾿ εγω κακων.
Και νυν τι τουτ᾿ αυ φασι πανδημω πολει
κηρυγμα θειναι τον στρατηγον αρτιως;
Εχεις τι κεισηκουσας; η σε λανθανει
προς τους φιλους στειχοντα των εχθρων κακα;
