been for all of written Greek history; but the pronunciation is not the same. In the time of Euclid, the pronunciation was changed to the “slang” of their time, it is told. Let’s compare the modern and old:
Alpha | Alpaaha | A-pah-ah-ha |
Beta | Beta | Bay-tah |
Gamma | Kamma | Kahm-ma. |
Delta | Telta | Tell-ta. |
Epsilon | Epsilonom | Ep-zill-oan-om |
Zeta | Zeta | Zay-tah |
Eta | Etha | Ayt-ha |
Theta | Thethehaha | Thay-thay-ba-ha |
Iota | Iota | Eye-oh-ah |
Kappa | Kapaa | Kah-pah-ah |
Lambda | Lambeta | Lam-bay-tah |
Mu | Mu | Moo |
Nu | Ni | Nee |
Xi | Xi | Ksee |
Omicron | Omikleon | Oh-mik-lay-on |
Pi | Pi | Pie |
Rho | Laho | Lah-A\oe |
Sigma | Zilkma | Zee-ik-ma |
Tau | Tau | Tah-oo |
Upsilon | Upazileon | Oo-pa-zee-lay-ohn |
Phi | Pehi | Pay-high |
Chi | Chi | Kigh |
Psi | Pezi | Pay-zigh |

If you read the old pronunciations out loud, it sounds very much like Polynesian! Plausibly, it is a summation of prehistoric Mayan words, which we can translate into English. Here, then is the Greek alphabet: Overwhelmingly break the oceans; They inundate the lands. Mother Earth receives the deep. Where obstructions are, shores form. Mighty winds rampage, where with oceans piling over oceans, they bury all that is living and moving. Where hills are, they vanish, buried, submerged with the earth of the motherland.
Mountain peaks alone stand forth before the onslaught on our planet which abates little by little until there comes the cold wind. The motherland is now at the bottom of the earth, an abyss, a vast reservoir of frozen mud. There comes out of volcanoes vapors pouring forth, with swirling smoke, and molten lava.
