There are Many famous literary masterpieces that were originally in Greek,such as the epic poems Odyssey and Iliad. Also, the Christian Bible’s New Testament originally in Koine Greek, also known as Hellenistic Greek.

Today, with about 14 million speakers around the world, Greek is the official language in Greece and Cyprus. The European Union has also named it as one of its official languages. Many Greek words are used as the root of loanwords in other languages, especially those used in medicine, philosophy and other sciences.
