February 24, 2026
The Greek language has a rich history spanning 4,000 years, characterized by its timelessness and universality. Professor Georgios Xenis analyzes five key historical periods that influenced the Greek language, including antiquity and the Hellenistic era. The language played a significant role in the survival of the nation, connecting various cultures. UNESCO has established February 9 as World Greek Language Day in honor of the national poet Dionysios Solomos. This initiative strengthens the position of the Greek language in the global cultural landscape.
