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.

Questions Related to greek greek

Provided By Y! Answers

What's the difference between "Koine Greek", "Byzantine Greek", & Modern Greek ?
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!


Answer:
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) for further information check on: http://www.answers.com/topic/greek-language http://www.answ ers.com/topic/history-of-greek 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.

What are 3 really good greek myths i could do for a 6th grade world culture report?
Question:
Like, about the gods, goddesses, demi-gods, heroes, etc. Its due in 3 days, please. GREEK, please greek myths.

Which should I learn first: Greek language and history or Latin language and Roman history?
Question:
I get the impression people tend to learn Latin first, then Greek. But Greek culture came first. What do you think is the wisest to begin with, assuming interest-level is equal?


Answer:
I advise learning Latin first. even though Greek culture is older. In starting with Latin, you'll be working back from where you are now. More of our English vocabulary comes from Latin than from Greek, and we use the Roman alphabet. Once you've mastered some Latin, you'll be ablr to apply some of the concepts when you start Greek and are also learning a new alphabet. As for history, I think it's more important there to go in chronological order. If you attend a college that offers two semesters of ancient history, go for it! By the time you graduate, everything will have fallen into place.

If I wanted to develop Biblical Greek knowledge to my fullest .... What college should I go to?
Question:
It can be secular or a seminary or a Bible college I would not mind also learning Ancient and Modern Greek and Greek history from the beginning of Greece to approximately 400 A.D.


Answer:
Possibly you can start here: http://www.mgsa.org/Resources/oxfordlib.html as a initial point to understand Greek and then you follow : http://www.oxfordscholarship.com/oso/public/classics/subject_home .html Oxford University has a very distinguished department of Greek studies but that means you have to have their requirements in entering the university. For Biblical studies you will also have to know Aramaic which was the original language the Bible was written into before being translated into Greek. The same University has also department for that language too. The question is who far are you prepared to go to achieve such levels of knowledge.

How many of you would confuse the Greek language for the Spanish language..?
Question:
The sounds they make are almost identical to me. And for those who are not familiar with greek. In greek hello is "kala" and it sounds just like the spanish "hola" And if you think "Apocalypse" in english sounds the same in greek, you are wrong it actually sounds more like spanish "Apokalipsis"


Answer:
Greek sounds like spanish but with different words, seriously if I had heard someone talking in greek really far away I would've thought is was spanish. Spanish can throw me off. If I hear Spanish speakers talk, but from a distance, meaning I can only hear a mumble thing, I can easily get confused and think someone is speaking Greek. The intonation is similar; besides, they both use the same vowel sounds - that is, just the basic ones. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyb2tfgNRyg

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.

Is being accepted into a Greek sorority/fraternity against my religion?
Question:
Considering that sororities/fraternities are Greek, and Greek rationalism is very different from that of Catholics and our ideas and beliefs are nothing alike, If you become part in the Greek society, then aren't you taking part in some sort of Greek practice? So considering that, Is it against Catholic belief to be in a sorority/fraternity? Don't judge me for ASKING A QUESTION. Without questions and answers, i wouldn't know anything. This is why i asked, so i could LEARN. So please, enough.


Answer:
University itself is a greek concept. Greek concepts arent a religious belief. You live in america, Christianity is an italian concept. Seriously, you seem like you dont know enough of the basics about your own religion, never mind have the common sense you should require to function in normal life and even in university. Greece is a christian country too, how little do you know about this country?
