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.

I think the term I'm familiar with is Classical Greek (as opposed to

Hebrew has absorbed some Greek from the Greek merchants who came here
, from the Greek who ruled here , And did you know that the
Phlishtiem were also Greek tribes ? who came here first to robe the
shores , than invaded the shores , hence the word plishtiem =invaders

different than Hebrew from Biblical times is richer in vocubulary ,
but you are also speaking and using verbs and words King David used
