Abstract:

The European citizen, and in a broader sense, the representative of the Western European culture which has left its mark on the modern world, this same citizen thinks and talks using words that he/she doesn’t always realize. Those words are related to the spiritual works and to the language of the Greeks used in the great (original) texts in Greek language or of Greek origin, in works which have set the parameters of this culture. What I have in mind are the works of Plato and Aristotle, the tragedies of Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides, the epics of Homer, etc. This article presents the theory about the importance of Greek language as a factor for the progress of the European civilization.

Keywords:
