Alpha – Α α
The first letter of the Greek alphabet is Alpha.
Because it starts the entire writing system,
Alpha often signifies the first or the best in a
group.

Beta – Β β
Beta is the second letter of the Greek
alphabet. It has a numerical value of two and
often represents an item that’s second in a line
of concession. The term “Beta” is often used in
slang to represent someone less than an
Alpha. It may also describe second versions of
concepts in science. For example, a Beta
variant of a virus will come after the Alpha.
Gamma – Γ γ
Gamma has a numerical value of three. The
approximate Western equivalent of Gamma is
a hard “G” sound. It can also take the place of
the “ng” sound that end words like “sing” or
“belong.”
···
Delta – Δ δ
The fourth letter in the Greek alphabet is
Delta. The capital Delta symbol is a triangle.
As a result, the term “Delta” was used to
describe many phenomena with a similar
shape. The most recognizable is a river delta.
···
Epsilon – Ε ε
Epsilon in the Greek alphabet is the equivalent
of the letter “E” in Western European
alphabets. Both the uppercase and the
lowercase symbols even look like the letter
“E.”
Zeta – Ζ ζ
The sixth letter of the Greek alphabet is Zeta,
but it has a numeric value of seven. The
modern pronunciation is similar to the letter
“Z.” The same goes for its uppercase symbol
appearance. However, the ancient
pronunciation of Zeta is closer to the sound of
“sd.” For example, the middle of the word
“wisdom.”
···
Eta – Η η
Next is Eta. It has a numerical value of eight
and is the seventh letter of the Greek
alphabet. The original Greek alphabet had a
different letter in Eta’s position, but it was
phased out in the transition to Ionic script
across Greece.
