Ancient Greek is the language that the Ancient Greeks spoke during the age of Ancient Greece and is also the language Greek demigods use. Dyslexia is common among Greek demigods because their brains are "hard-wired" for Ancient Greek whereas Roman Demigods understand Latin, as opposed to Ancient Greek. Ancient Greek can be broken into four main dialects and many sub-dialects.
Ancient Greek is slightly different to Modern Greek.

Tips
Edit
- You only use "℩" where sound shifts from /i/ to /j/ if it's not the case you would use "ι".
- You only use "ς" at the end of a word if it's in the middle of a word you would use "σ".
Examples
Edit
- "Μήνιν άειδε θεά, Πηλειάδεω Αχηλήος ουλομένην, ή μυρί' Αχαιοίς άλγε' έθηκε." which means: "O, Muse, sing of Achilles' great wrath, that brought unnumbered woes upon the Greeks."
