Attic Greek is the main Greek dialect that was spoken in ancient Attica, which includes Athens. Of the ancient dialects, it is the most similar to later Greek and is the standard form of the language that is studied in ancient-Greek language courses. Attic Greek is sometimes included in the Ionic dialect. Together, Attic and Ionic are the primary influences on Modern Greek.
Greek is a branch of the Indo-European language family, which includes English. In historical times, Greek already existed in several dialects (see article on Greek dialects), one of which was Attic.
The earliest written records in Greek date from the 16th to 11th centuries BC and exist in an archaic writing system, Linear B, which belongs to the Mycenaean Greeks. The distinction between Eastern and Western Greek is believed to have arisen by Mycenaean times or before. Mycenaean Greek represents an early form of Eastern Greek, a main branch to which Attic also belongs. Because of the gap in the written record between the disappearance of Linear B, around 1200 BC, and the earliest inscriptions in the later Greek alphabet, around 750 BC, the further development of dialects remains opaque. Later Greek literature wrote about three main dialects: Aeolic, Doric, and Ionic. Attic was part of the Ionic dialect group. "Old Attic" is used for the dialect of Thucydides (460-400 BC) and the dramatists of 5th-century Athens; "New Attic" is used for the language of later writers.

A talk on the restored classical Attic Greek pronunciation by the Joint Association of Classical Teachers. Uploaded for autodidactic purposes. There seems to be a lot of difference in opinion on what Ancient Greek sounded like and how we should pronounce it today. Being both an ancient and a living language there are many possibilities based upon whichever time or place we choose to focus. One is at liberty to recognise the legitimacy of various ways to speak Greek and when sat with a classical text reading aloud one can alternate as one likes. However when making a recording choices have to be made. I myself have chosen not to worry too much about which pronunciation I am using as long as I try to remain consistent throughout a piece. We sometimes just have to just pick one method and ge...

Amateur readings (in Attic~Ionic style) of the opening Lines 1-7 of the Iliad, and the start of Euclid's Elements Book 13.17 (on dodecahedron) I loosely transliterated the Iliad lines into Mycenaean Linear B, (for fun), since the Iliad likely depicts the Mycenaean Greek era. Digamma 'w' was lost in Classical Greek, but persisted in some dialects. I think diaresis iota ï marked syllabic stress, or possibly a glottal stop syllable break (uncertain). Doubled consonants are geminated / long. I think acute accent is a high tone on short vowels, and rising tone on long vowels ω ει η ου. Circumflex / squiggle is universal high falling tone. Grave is neutral or mid-low tone (I think).

Set during the Trojan War, the ten-year siege of the city of Troy (Ilium) by a coalition of Greek states, it tells of the battles and events during the weeks of a quarrel between King Agamemnon and the warrior Achilles. Although the story covers only a few weeks in the final year of the war, the Iliad mentions or alludes to many of the Greek legends about the siege; the earlier events, such as the gathering of warriors for the siege, the cause of the war, and related concerns tend to appear near the beginning. Then the epic narrative takes up events ...
