What is the event about?

Since that time, Greek has been used continuously to express the thoughts and feelings of Greek speakers until today. From administrative texts to epics, tragedy and comedy, the full range of human activities is available to us.
In this event, you will find out and get to know more about the development of Greek language and culture over three millennia.
