	Greek alphabet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Besides writing modern Greek, today its letters are used as mathematical symbols, as names of stars, in the names of fraternities and sororities, in the naming of supernumerary tropical cyclones, and for other purposes.
		The Greek alphabet originated as a modification of the Phoenician alphabet and in turn gave rise to the Latin and Cyrillic alphabets, as well as others, as documented in History of the alphabet.
		During the Middle ages, the Greek scripts underwent changes paralleling those of the Roman alphabet: while the old forms were retained as a monumental script, uncial and eventually minuscule hands came to dominate.
