abstract
  • Ancient Greek consists of three stages: * Archaic Greek (c. 9th–6th centuries BC); * Classical (c. 5th–4th centuries BC); * Hellenistic (c. 3rd century BC–6th century AD).
  • Ancient Greek or more appropriately Classical Greek, is a language from the Indo-European language family;a group of related languages that stretches from India to Norway. Classical Greek was used across several periods of Greek history; Archaic (spanning the 9th-6th centuries BC), Classical (5th-4th centuries BC) and Hellenistic (3rd century BC-6th century AD). The Classical Greek language was used thoroughly throughout the Hellenistic period, when Greek culture was spread as far as India. The language later evolved to Koine (Common or Hellenistic), Medieval (Byzantine) and Modern Greek. Medieval Greek was the official language of (particularly the late) Byzantine Empire. The New Testament of the Bible was mostly written in Greek, more specifically in Koine. According to tradition, Cadmus, son of King Agenor of Phoenicia brought the Phoenician alphabet to Greece where, with the help of Palamedes, it evolved into the classical writing system.
