An Erasmic version of the First Delphic Hymn to Apollo by Joulia Strauss:
Damn, I can't get used to the Erasmic pronunciation no matter how many times I listen to it.... 
Here is the (original fragment) of the First Delphic Hymn to Apollo in Non - Erasmic accent. | | | |

I have to admit that I don't have a problem with erasmian pronunciation, but what bothers me is her accent (Joulia Strauss - first hymn).
I listened to both Greeks using erasmian pronunciation and other people (mostly english native speakers) and they clearly have a germanic accent. I know that modern greek is not the same as ancient or koine, but ancient pronunciation sounds stranger when it is used by non-Greeks.
