Proper noun

[edit]

AncientGreek

  1. Any of thevariousforms of theGreeklanguage ofclassical antiquity,particularly theclassicalAtticdialect used inAthenianliterature.

Usage notes

[edit]
  • The period is roughly understood as spanning from the end ofMycenaean Greek during the 12th-century bc to the advent ofByzantine Greek following the fall of Rome in the 5th century ad. However, the term often excludes archaic forms (such asHomeric Greek) and late forms of the popular language (the "Koine", "Hellenistic", or "Biblical" Greek commonly spoken from the Hellenistic period onward and whose late forms are often indistinguishable from Byzantine Greek). Further, Ancient Greek continued to be used as a literary language throughout the Byzantine period and (to a lesser extent) into the present day.
  • The term is also sometimes—as in ISO 639—used more generally for any premodern form of Greek, with a common cutoff date of 1453 (the Fall ofConstantinople).
