Therein lie many fundamental texts in this ancient language in the broad disciplines of philosophy, science, and literature. Homer, Socrates, and Aristotle are all names that have become inextricable with the spoken Greek experience, for their works were often originally penned in this ancient tongue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Ancient Greeks afforded access to the most vital repository of human learning: direct access to classical literature and<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0historical and philosophical writings that provided the intellectual ground from which modern human thought emerged.<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> However, for those who also want to speak the language, the modern form is the key to all this cultural and intellectual heritage.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Transition_to_Modern_Greek\"><\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Transition to Modern Greek<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Gradually, the language changed. Many grammatical, pronunciation, and vocabulary changes occurred as the language changed from Ancient Greek to Modern. By the Byzantine period, the language changed so much that it is now known as Medieval Greek. <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Through time, the changes kept accumulating until what we know today as Modern Greek was spoken by millions of people around the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Modern Greek has retained many of the skeleton of its structure and vocabulary from its<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0ancient predecessor, therefore building somewhat of a bridge between past and present.<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> If you speak Greek today, you do not only converse with the minds of contemporary Greeks.
