From acoustics to zygote, they provide not only an engaging romp thru the Greek language but also a series of glimpses into the world the human place in it. The historical, philosophical, mathematical, cosmological & political (all Greek words) approaches we take toward life, its description, elucidation & evaluation, are all mainly derived from several thousand years of Greek culture. The vocabulary of language is a mirror of the minds of its speakers. In this book we see the 1st reflections of the modern world.
