How do you say Greece in Arabic?
The most common word would be γεια σου (gia su). meaning ''...in you health''.
We use it as a word for hi, good bye, so long, etc. We also use it for 'cheers''. We just use it everywhere, you cant go wrong with it. There is a more formal way of use it, because it is actually an abbreviation of '' εις την υγεία σας'' (is -s like 's' not like 'z'- is tin igia sas) but only foreigners will tell that.
I know it is confusing but it is the most important phrase in our langouage. Just try ''stin igia su'' or ''gia su''. Every letter like it sounds in its original form. u like ouuuu like you are booing the Celtics.

Why did Persia attack Greece during the Persian War?
The Greek colonies in Asia Minor had been incorporated within the Persian Empire. They often revolted and were given assistance by their mother-cities in mainland Greece. When Miletus revolted, Athens and Eretria provided military support, and went so far as to burn down the Persian provincial capital of Sardis. A Persian punitive expedition in response to this was defeated at Marathon and in front of Athens in 490 BCE.
Persia then decided that the only way to put a final end to this was to incorporate mainland Greece in its empire, and so establish an ethnic frontier. Many of the northern Greek cities were bribed to come to the Persian side, and Persian king Xerxes invaded southern Greece in 480 BCE.
What long term effect did the Persian war have on ancient Greece?
What is a silver 1978 apaxmai coin worth?
You have a coin from Greece. The word you are looking at is not "apaxmai", but rather "ΔΡΑΧΜΑΙ". It is written in the Greek alphabet and is pronounced "drachmai".
Greece produced one coin denominated in drachmai actually made of silver in 1978, as well as three others that were silver in color (but actually made of copper-nickel).
The silver coin is a 100 Drachmai (KM#121). It is a large coin, slightly larger than the size of a US half dollar, is 65% silver and contains 0.2717 troy ounces of silver. It is a commemorative coin produced in honor of the 50th Anniversary of the Bank of Greece. Only 25,000 were produced, all in proof, and an example today is worth (according to the Standard Catalog of World Coins, about US$150.
The three copper-nickel coins produced in 1978 are the 5, 10 and 20 Drachmai coins. Each is worth about a US dollar in Uncirculated condition, and somewhat less than that with any signs of wear. All were also produced in proof, and in such condition would be worth perhaps US$8 to 10 each.
