Did you know?

  • Ancient Greek poets often paired ἄμπελος with the image of Dionysus, the god of wine, making the word a literary symbol of ecstasy and madness.
  • The word αμπέλι is a diminutive form of the Ancient Greek word ἄμπελος. This suggests that the modern term for a vineyard originally implied a 'small vine'.
  • While αμπέλι means 'vineyard', it is also the common word for a single 'grapevine'. This means a Greek speaker might use the same word to describe a whole estate or a single plant in a garden.

Examples in context

  • Ο αμπελώνας έχει υπέροχη θέα στο βουνό.
    The vineyard has a fantastic view of the mountain.
