Synopsis

Excerpt from Greek Lessons: Part I. The Greek in English, Part II. The Greek of Xenophon

And with Greek the case is pretty much the same. Some Greek words have come into English through Latin. For the Romans learned much of their civilization from the Greeks. The very alphabet was taught them by the Greeks, whose literature the Romans translated and imitated; and along with every art or science partly or wholly learned from Greece - such as painting, sculpture, geometry, medicine, architecture there came into the language a larger or smaller number of Greek words connected with that branch of knowledge. These words, then, were a part of the Latin language, and were taken thence into English as readily as other Latin words.
