It's all Greek to me: The etymology of Vasileus and Vasil

[Giorikas]

svoliani you still dont get it do you.

ancient greek boroowed many words from other langauges, along with cultural concepts and scientific knowledge, according to the ancinet greek authors themselves from other nations including egypt and the pelasgians.

one of those words is vasileus, another is thalassa.

in ancinet greek they did not mean anything but have since their inclusion into ancient greek now mean king/ruler and sea.

in macedonian talas mean wave

vo or va mean in

and sila means power.

make what you want from it, have a greek pizzza and coffee while you ponder it.

Hello Osiris,

Sources suggest that Thalassa or Thalatta in Attic form ( Thalassa is still in use in greek as 'sea') was in use in the different Greek dialects.

Please read below interesting article:

(specifically the 5th paragraph from down)

I trust that I can use this wikipedia link for some more onfo on Xenophon's Anabasis:
