| Today about ten million people speak Greek. Greek words spread from the New Testament and other texts to Latin, German and English. Greek provides the vocabulary for many arts and sciences. Many English prefixes and suffixes come from Greek. For example, the prefix "psycho", as in psychology, means " the mind" or "mental activity". The suffix "phone", as in telephone, means "sound". With so much Greek in our language, we are right when we say, "It's Greek to me." Greeks' lifestyle also fascinates people somewhere else. One third of the population lives and works in the bustling, modern, capital city of Athens. However, in rural Greece, particularly the more remote village, the traditional way of life has not changed for centuries. |
