Zeta (uppercase Ζ, lowercase ζ; Greek: ζήτα, classical [ˈdzɛːta] or [ˈzdɛːta] zḗta, Modern Greek: [ˈzita] zíta) is the sixth letter of the Greek alphabet. In the system of Greek numerals, it has a value of 7. It was derived from the Phoenician letter Zayin . Letters that arose from zeta include the Roman Z and Cyrillic З.
Unlike the other Greek letters, this letter did not take its name from the Phoenician letter from which it was derived; it was given a new name on the pattern of beta, eta and theta.
The word zeta is the ancestor of zed (UK) or zee (US), the name of the Latin letter Z. In other languages (e.g., Italian and Icelandic), the name zeta is used to refer to the Roman letter Z as well as the Greek letter.
The letter ζ represents the voiced alveolar fricative /z/ in Modern Greek.
The sound represented by zeta in Classical Greek is disputed. See Ancient Greek phonology and Pronunciation of Ancient Greek in teaching.
Most handbooks[who?] agree on attributing to it the pronunciation [zd] (like Mazda), but some scholars believe that it was an affricate [dz] (like Italian zero). The modern pronunciation was, in all likelihood, established in the Hellenistic age and may have already been a common practice in Classical Attic; for example, it could count as one or two consonants metrically in Attic drama.
Faber is a professor of English poetry, the wrong side of 40, unhappily married, a charmer in mid-life crisis. He's in love with Zeta, a beautiful woman 15 years his junior. He also has cancer, or so he claims. The clock is ticking. He's got nothing to lose. So he makes a film, a record of his feelings for Zeta, in a desperate attempt to win her. In this film within a film he quotes Marvell's 'To His Coy Mistress'. At the same time his affections begin to transfer to the actress playing Zeta. Will she fall for his dubious charms? Or will he be exposed as a fraud and a fool?
