Quiet here today
Alison, Classical Greek is also different from Biblical Greek. I
do not know enough to explain the difference, but I know that they are totally different courses here. One of the differences is the stresson accents in Classical Greek. For the most part, they are unimportant in Biblical Greek. There are a few exceptions, but generally, we don't need to worry about the accents. Biblical Greek is also called "Koine Greek", and is a simpler language in many ways.
