For us, Greek and Latin are the most important of the languages of the ancient world. Greek is the other of the two and much of Latin literature is based on the Greek literature that went before it. The two languages are often learnt together because Greek and Latin grammar are alike in various ways. Many scholars think that Greek comes from an even earlier language that was written from right to left, for the very clearly Greek inscriptions are from right to left. The Greek writing of later times, however, which is better known, follows the usual pattern of left to right. The Greek alphabet, which is different from ours, has 24 letters.

Ancient Greek was spoken in many dialects, but the Attic speech which the citizens of Athens used is thought to be the purest kind. Greek spread rapidly and came to be spoken in most of the lands around the Miditerranean, and the victories of the Macedonian king and warrior, Alexander the Great, carried it also to many parts of Asia minor and the east. Later, in the Roman world, educated employed Greek as their second language, in the same way that English speaking people learned and used French in later times.
