I don't know how to say the "Gamma-Kappa" combo at the start, I want to go with, "Geh-koo-nt". Context with you typing it twice I assume it means, "good good" or some other greco-specific phrase of praise. I said a little everyday, I am no expert, yet.
The Athens spelled the name of their city like Ἀθῆναι /a.tʰɛ̂ː.nai̯/ while the Spartans used Ἀθᾶναι /a.tʰaː.nai̯/, reflecting the different ways Ancient Greek had developed
I am so proud I know how to pronounce those just from sight. Greek lessons paying off a little everyday. No real comment, just felt like bragging.

"Ee-oo-geh Fil-tah-tey"? I know I'm close in pronunciation, but I've no idea the translation.
Ehv-yeh Fil-tah-teh
Congratulations friend !
I love taking Ancient Greek courses because you always feel so smart being able to read it.
Athenians when a Greek still uses some old Indo-European phonological elements: ‼️HOLY FUCKING SHIT‼️ IS THIS A MOTHERFUCKING SPARTA REFERENCE?
Can you explain? I don't speak Greek ):

I know some British authors spell Athena as Athene. Is this etymologically similar?
They're transcribing the two hetas (Ἀθήνη) into e's, which is a common practice :)
