Have a look at "Uncleftish Beholding" by Poul Anderson (quoted e.g. at
http://www.grijalvo.com/Citas/Peculiar_English.htm ) for an example of
such a beast.
I found it moderately hard to read, and knew I not German, it had been
even harder.
As for English that has much more Greek put into it, see the two
speeches by Prof. Zolotas quoted further down on that page.
