From
Wikipedia:
The History of Greece traditionally encompasses the study of the Greek people, the areas they ruled historically, and the territory now composing the modern state of Greece.The scope of Greek habitation and rule has varied significantly through the ages, and as a consequence, the history of Greece is similarly elastic in what it includes. Each era has its own related sphere of interest.The first (proto-)Greek-speaking tribes are generally thought to have arrived in the Greek mainland sometime in the 3rd millennium BC, where various pre-Greek peoples had already been practicing agriculture since the 7th millennium BC.At its peak, Greek civilization spread from Greece to Egypt and to the Hindu Kush mountains in Pakistan . Since then, Greek minorities have remained in former Greek territories (e.g., Turkey, Italy, and Libya, Levant, etc.), and Greek emigrants have assimilated into differing societies across the globe (e.g., North America, Australia, Northern Europe, South Africa etc.). Still today, most Greeks live in the modern states of Greece (independent since 1821) and Cyprus.

Question:
1, Koine Greek (also known as "Hellenistic Greek" or "New Testament Greek").
2, Byzantine Greek (also known as "Medieval Greek").
3, Modern Greek (spoken & written in modern Greece).
Incidentally, do you think Modern Greek is really worth learning ? & does Greek really sound very beautiful to your ears? Thanks!

Greek as all languages, has evolved. All languages change through time. Koine, Byzantine and Modern Greek were spoken in different periods.
Koine Greek (from c. 300 BC)
Medieval Greek (c. 330–1453)
Modern Greek (from 1453)

I'm Greek so I don't know how it sounds to a foreigner, but I think it depends on where you come from. The pronunciation of the language is similar to Spain's spanish (especially the northern parts of Spain).
Is it worth learning it? Only for your own pleasure I guess. I don't think it will help find a job in your country for example and if you visit Greece you'll be able to communicate in English.

Do anybody knows a good book about the good Greek Mythology?
Question:
That is includes about Achilles,Greek Gods,Greeks War,Trojan War,300 Spartans & so on. Any good book out there?
Answer:
There are, of course, several. The most readable is put together by a man named Gustav Schwab and is entitled something like GODS AND HEROS OF ANCIENT GREECE.
Then there is another that I suggest you to read after you have read that one. Robert Graves (with a coauthor, I think) THE GREEK MYTHS. This book explains things more than telling you the myth and this book is a building block for a very good vocabulary. It comes in two volumes, perhaps now one volume, with a Lexicon in the back of it. You will find out that each mythological person and every mythological place has a definite meaning. Pandora, for instance, did not release "all evils", she released all gifts Pan = All, Dora = gifts
My grandfather taught Latin and Greek and many of the stories that he told us at bedtime were from the myths.

How to link the Greek language to English?
Question:
I am doing a report for school and I need to figure out how to connect Greek (Ancient Greek) to Old English and then to English.
I think that Old English (Anglo Saxon) came from the Celts, right? So, then, how is Celtic linked to Greek?
Thanks.
I need to tie the quote "Of the thousand words we use most frequently, over 80% descend from Anglo-Saxon."
Answer:
Anglo-Saxon was a west Germanic language, not a Celtic one.
English is a Germanic language, but it was heavily "Frenchified" when William the Conqueror (from French-speaking Normandy) took over England in 1066. The court spoke French, and the people spoke English. The resulting mix turned the old English of Beowulf into the Middle English of Chaucer.
English and Greek are both members of the huge Indo-European language family. Most languages spoken in Europe, and many in India (and in Iran) are part of this family. The sub-families include the Romance languages, the Slavic languages, the Germanic languages, the Celtic languages, etc. etc.
Greek is the only surviving member of its sub-family. So Greek is related to English, but is a rather distant cousin.
Many many many Greek words have entered the English language, largely through the study of Ancient Greek texts (Plato, Aristotle, Sophocles, Pythogoras, etc. etc.), and by scientists and philosophers adding words to our language by borrowing from Greek (the same is true of Latin)
Greek also sneaks into English from the New Testament (written in Koine Greek, a later form than the ancient), the Byzantine empire (the Eastern Roman empire, which lasted until the 15th century), and Modern Greece.

Why are leaf crowns worn by a lot of greeks in ancient greek mythology, art, and in ancient greece itself?
Question:
In a lot of ancient greek mythology, art, and in ancient greece itself, i see a lot of paintings with greeks and greek gods wearing crowns made of leaves? why is this? is this just for decoration, or does this serve a purpose?
Answer:
There are usually two types of 'leaf crowns used in Greek mythology and the art work of the Greeks. The first, more common, is the crown of Laurel leaves, these were woven and presented to the winners of contests, often athletic, but sometimes academic. The saying "resting on their laurels' comes from this time and was meant to describe a person who won something and then simply made the most out of the one win without going on to achieve anything else.
The other was a crown of Olive Leaves, which was the sacred tree of Athena. Only rulers and priests wore this crown.

Should adopted children be allows to inherited Greek passport from biological parents?
Question:
If you were to adopt a new born baby, and the child biological mother/father, can’t take care of the baby, would you still allow the biological parents to register the child with the Greek embassy, and give the adoptive parents a Greek passport for the new baby at the time of adoption, if the baby is legally entitled to a Greek passport, under Greek law.
Reason Greek passport would give child more legal rights in the European Union than most green card older have in the USA.
Should adopted children be allows to inherited Greek passport from biological parents.
Answer:
Yes.
It's the law of the country the passport is coming from, firstly.
It might not be a bad idea, considering the way things are going in the US, to be able to claim citizenship and a passport in the EU, secondly.
It will help him/her if he/she ever decides to explore his/her birth family - it's a major lead, and tells them a bit more about where they come from. If you don't have that information readily available, it's a good thing for them to have themselves.

Shouldn't Obama appoint a Greek American to the Supreme Court?
Question:
We hear talk of appointing a Hispanic to the Supreme Court...I think a better pick would be a Greek American. Greek Americans are in the minority. There are fewer of them than Hispanics.
Answer:
You're right. There are far fewer Greek-Americans; and that is precisely why the next appointee isn't going to be a Greek-American. It's all about V.O.T.E.S.
Hispanics are the largest ethnic minority in the USA; they have no members on the Supreme Court, and Obama is going to want to secure their support for his re-election bid in 2012.
Make sense?
