Typically traditional, contemporary Greek arts and entertainment has strayed little from classical Hellenistic culture. Aside from changes from technological developments, the only major difference between arts and entertainment in Greece now and in antiquity is the language. Ancient Greek, including Archaic, Classical, Hellenistic, Mycenaean and Koine, was the language of historical Athens and Sparta. Modern Greek, which descends from ancient Greek, has a modified syntax but is not so greatly different.
