The lower case letters are a medieval afterthought, a separate alphabet developed for cursive in the
Middle Ages, as are lower case Roman letters. Lower case Greek letters can throw one. g looks like y, e looks
like n, n looks like v, r looks like p, y looks like u, and many letters don’t look like anything familiar.
Lower case kappa and chi can be very tricky in some fonts, especially Times. κ,κ, χ. Be careful.
Three lower case letters have forms typically, but not exclusively different in modern versus classical writings.
Theta was classically mostly ϑ, and modern mostly θ, and phi classically mostly ϕ, modern sometimes also φ.
(I generally use φ as a matter of esthetics.) Epsilon ε or ϵ.
u psilon means ‘simple or narrow u, plain u’; e psilon means ‘simple or narrow e, plain e’; o micron
means ‘little or small o”; o mega means ‘big or large o’.
The following letters are primarily obsolete letters from the Euboean Greek (or Western Greek, but
some sources lump Euboean in “Eastern Greek”) alphabet that was used in southern Italy, and adapted by the
Etruscans and later evolved into the Roman alphabet. Others are from other epichoric dialects. They may
have been used more numerically than alphabetically. Sampi was used more as a numeral than as a letter.
Bactrian was an Iranian language written with the Greek alphabet and was used in the far eastern part of
Alexander the Great’s empire and the Seleucid empire.
Ϝ ϝ digamma, originally wau w
Ϻ ϻ san s

Ϡ ϡ sampi (disigma) ss
Pamphylian digamma noted a ‘v’ sound in some dialects.
