Greek Alphabet

The Greek alphabet is a writing system that originated in Greece around 800 BC. It consists of 24 letters, each representing a specific sound, and is used for writing the Greek language. The letters include familiar ones like Alpha (A), Beta (B), and Gamma (G), along with distinctive ones like Delta (Δ) and Omega (Ω). The Greek alphabet has significantly influenced other alphabets, including Latin and Cyrillic. It is still in use today, both in modern Greek writing and in various scientific contexts, such as mathematics and engineering, where Greek letters symbolize specific concepts or variables.
