UCy to host first official World Greek Language Day

The University of Cyprus will host the first official celebration of World Greek Language Day on February 9, with an event entitled “In the Greek language, which is the vehicle of fame” («Ἐν λόγῳ ἑλληνικῷ ποὺ εἶν’ ὁ φορεὺς τῆς φήμης»).

The event will take place at the university’s ceremonial hall, starting at 9am.

Its title is drawn from a verse by Constantinos Kavafis in the poem “In a City of Asia Minor” and presents the Greek language as the vehicle for the dissemination of knowledge, fame and history.
