While I agree that everyone, especially kids, should be cautious about posting personal info online, I really doubt there's much danger with putting a user name and an age in the comments section of a quiz site. Cyber criminals are clever, but not clairvoyant!
I just have to say... Athena is awesome... almost as awesome as Ghost Rider, a.k.a. me... and I love it when people say totally random things... and I love ... as you can see... HA! I'm weird as weird can be. It's also late. And I'm a bit hyper... so... yeah.
Agreed. Omikron is the only way I have ever seen it written down, and I'm American. It's actually more correct than omicron because "mikron" is the English transliteration of the Greek for little ("mega" is big, therefore, "little o" and "big O"). The only letter that makes a C sound in Greek is Kappa, which is always transliterated as a K.

for anyone who doesn't get this and fails the game go watch this amazing video trust me i learned all of them after i heard this and share the story also enjoy:)
At my school, pledges had to sing the entire Greek alphabet while marching in line, everywhere they went. There wasn't a person in my dorm, Greek or Indie, who couldn't sing that annoying song in our sleep! I'm surprised I had 2:21 left. Should have gotten it even faster.
I'm currently taking chemistry, physics, algebra two, and probability & statistics. Everything we use in those classes I got. (Except pi... I forgot pi.)
When I pledged a fraternity, back in the dark ages, we had to hold a burning match and say the Greek alphabet before the flame got to our fingers. I learned fast, and have never forgotten!

glad we don't have to write the greek characters. I did well in Greek, but was always graded down slightly for my penmanship.
And don't even ask me about Hebrew or Aramaic.
The hint "Ancient Greek, not modern" is misleading. The alphabets of ancient and modern Greek are identical. Plus, the names of the letters are identical. The only problem is that what you're looking for is not hte letter names, rather than the translations the american educational system has chosen to use on the letter names. Please clarify it.
13/24. I had 10 of them I could remember, but then I used a cheat. Thank you COMMENTS!!!!!
Quizmaster, having the comments button while taking the quiz is a cheat to every quiz. Just wanted to let you know.
I only got alpha, beta, gamma, delta, theta and omega - I knew these because of Maths and Physics (forgot sigma). I typed 'ypsilon' as it is a German letter (I'm learning German) but didn't bother to change the first letter although I initially intended to!
