Ancient Greek (language)
Ancient Greek is a language that belongs to the Indo-European language family. Its parent language is Proto-Hellenic, a proto-language. In Ancient Greek, words like Thumos (θῡμός · thūmós) and Menos (μένος · ménos) are related to mental activity or other psychological processes. To transcribe the Ancient Greek language from speech to writing, scripts (writing systems) like Greek are used.
