Summary: "The contents of this book illustrate the manifold importance, impact and resilience of the Greek language as a code of communication in both West and East. It presents the evolutionary course of Greek over the centuries, as well as its inexhaustible wealth, for as the poet Nikephoros Vrettakos has observed, Greek is the International linguistic axis and all peoples continue to borrow words from its diachronic thesaurus. In addition to the first-rate essays, the book also includes a concise list of scientific terms of Greek derivation , a fascinating insight for the reader. Well-received by Greeks and foreigners alike, the book has been used in Greek language teaching programmes for non-Greek-speakers in university centres in Greece, Europe, the United States of America, Australia and elsewhere. As a much-heeded contribution to the relevant bibliography, it is constantly in demand." Maria-Eleftheria Yatrakou, "EUROCLASSICA", Association of European Teachers of Classical Languages and Civilizations.
