Ancient Greek Language and Culture

古希腊语是古希腊文化的一个有机的成分。它以其自身的特点和优点有效地担当了表述古希腊文化的某些其他成分 ,诸如文学、历史、哲学、科学、民族特性和城邦政治等的载体或介质。古希腊语的发展由始至终都构成整个古希腊文化发展的一个组成部分 。

Greek, one of the organic elements of the ancient Greek culture, with its linguistic traits and advantages, effectually acted as an expressive medium of other cultural elements——literature, historiography, philosophy, science, ethnic identity, politics of polis, etc. In ancient Greece, the history of her language was part of her cultural history all the time, and on occasions even the enchancement of the language would make an engine of some cultural event.
