Greek Alphabet: Unlock the Secrets

Market research analyst Proppe here explores the semantic structure of the ancient Greek alphabet. Each of the 27 letters occupies a separate book section including its Greek name, its pronunciation, and its meaning, alongside a small black-and-white image used as a visual metaphor. For each letter, Proppe defines relevant words and offers explanations extracted from ancient Greek literature, history, and culture while occasionally drawing comparisons with contemporary society. Offering an outsider's perspective on any topic is desirable; however, this does not diminish the need to establish author credibility. With a self-published title, the need is more pronounced, yet information on Proppe is absent. Content is erratically cited. Proppe mentions using Liddell and Scott's Greek-English Lexicon but fails to note the edition or to include any other hints of methodology. The images used for each letter are lifted from strange Internet sources, such as personal blogs, Wikipedia, and even a classified advertisement. The book has great potential but reads like a wandering first draft.
