Greek Alphabet

Here is a list of the Greek Alphabet, the world's first full alphabet. The order across a row is: upper case, lower case letter, and name.

The second lower case SIGMA is only used at the end of the word.

Note: these letters are not in our alphabetical order.

Some books are numbered using the letters of the Greek alphabet. Sometimes, both lower case and capitals are employed for simplification. Thus, you may find that the books of the Iliad are written Α to Ω and those of the Odyssey, α to ω.
