The study of ancient Greek has faced significant challenges, from its perceived lack of practicality to the apparent obsolescence of Classical Philology. The teaching of Greek has evolved due to historical and political developments in countries where it was taught. Currently, the value of ancient Greek in educational curricula is under debate, threatening its future. Despite its limited contemporary applications, ancient Greek remains essential for scholars of Classical Philology, history, and Eastern European studies. We propose exploring alternative methods to approach the language, such as those by Moschopulos, utilizing texts of various categories and purposes, and reflecting on historical teaching methods. By moving away from current positivist stances, we can revitalize the study of this language and offer new perspectives.
