Ancient Greek Alphabet

Here is the ancient Greek alphabet as the letters were formed by hand:

Here is the way they are made today. Notice there are two different characters for "sigma". The second used as the final letter in the word, while the first is used anywhere else in the word:

α β γ δ ε ζ η θ ι κ λ μ ν ξ ο π ρ σ ς τ υ φ χ ψ ω

Man judges a person by his past deeds, and administers penalties for his wrongdoing. God judges a person by his present character, and disciplines him that he may become righteous.

Is no one interested in the ancient Greek alphabet? I was not only interested; I am amazed that it is still available in our day!
