THE YELLOW PAGES ...theta



So we sailed on to the sun,
Till we found the sea green,
And we lived beneath the waves,
In our yellow submarine,
Yellow submarine – Beatles – 1966 



Some more interesting facts about The Greek Alphabet...

Originally there were several variants of the Greek alphabet, most importantly western  (Chadian) and eastern (Ionic) Greek.

The former gave rise to the Old Italic alphabet and thence to the Latin alpha-be,  while the latter is the basis of the present Greek alphabet.

Theta - Greek letter corresponding to the numeral 9
