Product report

Description & Specifications

Nominated for the audience awards at the Skroutz Book Awards 2026.

What do waves and cups have in common? Why did the word “κουράζω” (to tire) come from “κουρεύω” (to shear)? What does a fleet have to do with adorning, and why did “πομπή,” meaning a procession, acquire the meaning of disgrace? Why does “συγγνώμη” (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 celebrating the beauty and richness of the Greek language, which will help readers understand why they can—and not why they should—be proud of their language.

Etymology, that wondrous world of syllables and sounds, reveals the astonishing ways in which words are created and interconnected. History, mythology, and tradition enrich this magical journey through the Greek language.


Panos Dimakis, the “Hawk” from the quiz show The Chase, reveals the power and charm of language with plenty of humor and knowledge.
