Greek language is very important because it is the basis for all modern-day languages. There is a vast bibliography on the matter, where you can find thousands of Greek words used in English, French, Italian etc.
No,we cant translate their language because there is no modern equivalent. The only thing we really have our murals depicting their day to day life.
The Greek language has a heavy influence on the English speaking civilization of the West. For example, English Greek was phonetic and was the first language that used vowels. Greek's incredibly diverse vocabulary also influenced and contributed to modern English. Thirteen point two percent of Modern day English is derived from the vocabulary of ancient Greece. Greek's written language has also influenced the creation of the English alphabet. The Greek alphabet produced many letters that are similar to the English. For example Greek's Beta is extremely similar to the English letter B. The letters of the Greek alphabet are used nowadays in modern English to represent mathematics and scientific concepts.
there is much speculation exactly where it came from but historians are pretty certain that the greek alphabet was adopted from the pheonicians which is now pretty much modern day lebanon. i believe all languages slowly evolve from others but greek could have very well been developed where modern day greece is now... it certainly is the oldest language in europe and if you go back a few dialects quite possibly the oldest language in the world. all the indo-european languages structurally came from greek including all the romance languages like italian and spanish even though greek is not considered a romance language, they know that those languages came from greek and if you listen you'll hear the similarities.
The modern day translation for owl is κουκουβάγια

Pashtuns are ethnically and iinquistically a people of eastern iranian ancestry (possible partial modern day descendants of Bactrians/Scythians) speaking a language called pashto(or pakhto). There is evidence of a limited greek contribution to the gene pool. Pashto language is related to the extinct Bactrian language and has many loan words from ancient greek dating from the greek occupation of Bactria (northern afghanistan) in ancient times.
