Ancient Greek is documented in use as a written language in Greece. The claim is where the language is documented in use as a written, literary or liturgical language. It is not a claim about the full extent of its speakers, and it is not a claim about where the language originated.

Psyche is the word for both soul and butterfly, and the two meanings are not separable.

Byzantine Greek is documented in use as a written language in Greece. The claim is where the language is documented in use as a written, literary or liturgical language. It is not a claim about the full extent of its speakers, and it is not a claim about where the language originated.

Greek sources treat the centaurs as a tribe of Thessaly, a people rather than a symbol. The reading of them as the human struggle with instinct is a modern gloss and not a Greek statement.

Cerberus at the gate, and the dogs of Hekate at the crossroads.

Apollo Delphinios, the rescue of Arion, and the dolphin as the friendly sea itself.

The bird of Zeus, and the eagle that carries Ganymede.

Amaltheia, the aegis, and the goat sacrifice at the root of tragedy.

The Hydra is tied to one place, the marsh of Lerna in the Argolid, and is a local monster rather than a general type. Ancient authors disagree wildly on the number of her heads, which suggests it was never a fixed feature.

Koine Greek is documented in use as a written language in Greece. The claim is where the language is documented in use as a written, literary or liturgical language. It is not a claim about the full extent of its speakers, and it is not a claim about where the language originated.

The language of Greece and of Greek Cyprus, and of the Greek communities of the diaspora.

A Minoan and Mycenaean motif long before it is a Greek one, and read as the sea itself.

The owl of Athena, and Athens stamping it on its coinage.

The hecatomb, the hundred-ox sacrifice, is the largest offering the Homeric poems describe.

The bird of Hera, its tail carrying the eyes of Argos.

Born of Medusa's blood, opens the Hippocrene, carries Bellerophon and then throws him.

Herodotus reports the bird at second hand, and the Physiologus turns it into a resurrection figure.

The golden fleece, and the ram of Zeus Ammon at Siwa.

The cock owed to Asclepius, which is the last thing Socrates says.

The hippocampus, drawing the chariot of Poseidon.

The snakes of Asclepius, and the household snake as the guardian of the place.

The Greek sphinx is female, winged and lethal, sent against Thebes and destroying herself when Oedipus answers her. The Greeks took the form from Egyptian and Levantine art and gave it a wholly different character.

Zeus and Leda, and the swan of Apollo.

Helicon stands in Boeotia.

Greece, with the Aegean, is the homeland of the polis and its religion.

The Hellenistic Period began with the Macedonian conquests of Alexander the Great and the Greek culture his successors carried across their kingdoms.

Zeno taught at Athens, and the school is Greek in origin.

This edge names a proposed setting rather than a contested claim in its own right. Ergot's own contested-use fact already carries the Wasson, Hofmann and Ruck 1978 hypothesis that it was the psychoactive agent in the kykeon of the Eleusinian Mysteries, and its standing as an influential but not generally accepted theory, in full.

Ancient Macedon lay immediately north of the Greek city states.

The figures grouped in this family, Eridanus, Delphinus, Pisces Australis, Equuleus and the rest, come from the Greek and Roman sky. The grouping itself is modern. The family is an arrangement made for readers of modern star guides. The International Astronomical Union recognises constellations and boundaries, not families.

Ptolemy catalogued the constellations of the zodiacal band among the forty-eight of the Almagest, and it is through the Greek tradition that the figures reached the Latin west. Ptolemy is the transmitting authority for the constellation figures, not the origin of the twelvefold division of the ecliptic.
