Greek is, as the saying goes, so much Greek to many people. The Ingenious Language: Nine Epic Reasons to Love Greek is an inspiring and fascinating exploration of the language used by some of history’s greatest poets, philosophers, and adventurers, and a dedication to a language that offers new and beautiful ways to see the world. If you’re a word nerd, a lover of language, or a grammar geek, this is a must-read for you.

Share your thoughts: Which of the nine reasons do you think is the most evocative and why?
