welcome to the cult of dionysus 🍇🍷

my name is Kevin, I'm nineteen, I come from Poland and I'm a second-year student of classical philology! I warmly welcome you to my blog, feel at home here. Let the flame of Hestia's fire wrap you in warmth! I have been interested in Ancient Greece since I was a child, I always dreamed of learning Ancient Greek and telling people about Greek mythology, which is why you will find here all kinds of information posts about Ancient Greece, the Greeks and Greek mythology. What's more, I am also a Hellenist, and I talk about my gods and my relationship with them with great faith and love! May the gods bless you, newcomer!

•Koine is the so-called Common Greek (ἡ κοινὴ διάλεκτος, he koine dialektos - common dialect). Koine Greek began to develop when Alexander of Macedon began his conquests at the beginning of the Hellenistic era. It was created in Alexander's army because previously the Achaeans, despite speaking Greek, had different dialects (Attic, Ionic, Dorinthian, etc.) and they were different from each other, so Koine Greek was created from their amalgamations. Researchers assume that the attic dialect is the main root for Koine, but it still has influences from other ancient Greek dialects. Koine Greek replaced Classical Greek, becoming the language of trade, diplomacy, literature, and science. It began to be used at the beginning of the Hellenistic era and fell into disuse only in late antiquity.
