[QUOTE="chevyontheriver, post: 77483125, member: 381079"] One of the benefits of Latin is that it makes Greek easier. So many words are crazy similar. I was reading yesterday something Bruce Metzger, the famous Bible scholar, wrote about the various Indo-European languages and how many words are cognates with some very predictable changes. Latin will use a 'd' often where Greek uses a 'th'. Thus Greek 'theos becomes Latin 'deus'. So many other predictable changes, when figured out make Greek easy if you already know Latin. They were almost dialects with different alphabets. [/QUOTE]
