Abstract:
It does not appear to be generally known what factors and circumstances led to the so-called «scientific» pronunciation of Greek. All started with a practical joke played on Erasmus by the Swiss scholar Loritus of Glarus. Later, however, Erasmus found out the trick played on him, so he desisted from using the pronuntiation he had proposed, but his error finally succeeded in ousting the Greek pronunciation of Greek. The article exposes throughly the evolution of the pronunciation of Greek since the origins of the language.
