The Center for the Greek Language, with the publication of "The History of the Greek Language: From its Origins to Late Antiquity," makes a significant contribution in research and authorship. This work is foundational for both Greek and European letters.

The present essay reflects on the bibliographic past of the Greek language and transcends it, looking towards the future, at a time when the fates of European languages are being assessed within the framework of the European Union.

• Collective character (the volume contains 123 texts, contributions from 45 Greek authors and 30 foreign ones).
• Scope and depth of the methodology (the Greek language is surrounded by all its critical historical and scientific contexts).
• Critical sobriety (the ideological mythologizing of the ancient Greek language is avoided, without diminishing its classical significance).
• Documented expertise (linguistic and interdisciplinary, with an anthropological background in the linguistic process and communication).
