Alexander’s Language Legacy — Koinē Greek (Κοινή Ἑλληνική) as a Bridge of Civilizations

When Alexander the Great marched across continents, he left behind more than victories—he left a language. Koinē Greek became the shared tongue of empires, uniting diverse peoples from the Mediterranean to India. It carried philosophy, science, diplomacy, and sacred texts across borders, shaping the New Testament, preserving classical thought, and enabling cultural exchange at an unprecedented scale. This lecture explores how Koinē Greek became history’s most powerful tool of connection, turning words into bridges that spanned civilizations.

We will journey through the rise of this “common Greek,” tracing its role in spreading Hellenistic culture, empowering scholarship in Alexandria, fostering dialogue among Jews, Christians, and pagans, and laying foundations for Byzantine, Islamic, and Western intellectual traditions. More than a linguistic phenomenon, Koinē was a civilizational force—one that reminds us how a common language can unite humanity in wisdom and shared destiny.
