What
do all those words have in common? They’re
all part of the Greek alphabet! The Greek
alphabet is comprised of 24
different letters. Hermes is believed
to have come up with the alphabet. The
English alphabet that we all learned in kindergarten was greatly
influenced by
the Greek alphabet.  Have you ever wondered why it’s called the “alphabet”? Because the first two letters in the Greek alphabet are “alpha” and “beta”… alphabet! Each letter has a different symbol. Some of the symbols look very familiar! That’s because whoever created the English alphabet borrowed some symbols from the Greeks. Are you eager to find out the whole Greek alphabet? Then you’re in the right place! For a little challenge, why not try memorizing it? |
