What is the first line of the Greek alphabet?

Greek alphabet pronunciation reference

In the process of learning mathematics, some Greek letters are often used. Sometimes I can't write, sometimes I can read, sometimes I can't write, and I am often confused by English letters. I spent a few minutes searching online with Baidu, hoping to share it with our math teacher.

Introduction of Greek characters

In the use of characters, the Greeks were influenced by oriental culture. After Mycenae's linear letter B disappeared, the Greeks lost their own words. Homer's society shows no signs of using words. The Greek alphabet appeared in the period of Orientalization. The earliest letters appeared on pottery from 750 BC to 700 BC and originated from Phoenician syllabic writing. The Greeks themselves knew this very well, so there is an ancient word phojnikeia in Greek, which means "letters" and its direct meaning is "Phoenician things". Herodotus also recorded this. He said that the Phoenicians followed Cadmus to Thebes, Greece, and settled here. "They brought some things, including words. I don't think the Greeks had words before." Phoenician characters, like other Semitic characters, are syllabic characters. The difference is that it basically abandons vowels and is mainly composed of consonants. In this way, the meaning is blurred, but fewer letters are used. Phoenician script * * * uses 22 letters, while Akkadian, which belongs to Semitic language family, uses 285 letters. Mycenae's linear letter B also used more than 80 letter symbols. Perhaps it was the simplicity of Phoenician writing that attracted the favor of the Greeks, who borrowed it basically without reservation. Greek letters have the same shape and order as Phoenician letters. Even the pronunciation of Greek letters comes from Phoenicia. For example, in Phoenician, alpha means "cow" and betha means "house", but in Greece, they only represent the pronunciation of letters and have no meaning. However, this does not mean that the Greeks completely copied the Phoenician script. In fact, they changed it a lot, changing some consonants into vowels, and finally created a complete alphabet with 24 vowels and consonants. It is different from Phoenician syllabic writing. Each letter has its own pronunciation and can be expressed independently. This writing system is extremely simple and practical, and it is still used by most characters in the world.

The appearance of writing had a far-reaching impact on Greek society and culture. Its most direct influence is manifested in literature, and the ancient style era is the most abundant period of poetry creation in Greek history. During this period, Homer's epics were written in words. His son may be the first poet to write directly. In addition, a large number of lyric poets appeared, including the greatest poetess in Greek history, Sappho. 1963, anthropologists Goody and Watt published a famous article entitled "Characters and the Consequences of Their Application", suggesting that the social and cultural changes in ancient times should be attributed to the application of characters. The rise of democratic politics, the beginning of logical and rational thinking and the rise of critical historiography are all the consequences of the use of words. Although their theory overemphasizes the role of words and ignores other factors, the appearance of words has a great influence on Greek culture.
