What is the connection between waves and cups? Why did the word for "to tire" come from the word for "to cut hair"? What is the relationship between "fleet" and "to decorate," and why did the word for "procession" come to mean "dishonor"? Why does the word "sorry" have one of the most moving etymologies in the Greek language? And finally, how on earth is Foskolos connected to the moon?
A unique dictionary about the beauty and richness of the Greek language, which will help the reader understand why they can – and not why they must – be proud of their language.
Etymology, this marvelous world of syllables and sounds, reveals to us the fascinating way words are created and interconnected. History, mythology, and tradition come together to complete this magical journey through the Greek language.
Panos Dimakis, the Hawk of the knowledge game show The Chase, reveals to us the power and charm of language with plenty of humor and knowledge.
