How do we figure out the long and short vowels in Ancient Greek texts? Which vowels are long and which are short? Understanding when Ancient Greek vowels are long and short is a mandatory part of learning the language, not only to be fluent readers, but just to appreciate the literature. Let's learn how to tell when α, ι, and υ are long (ᾱ ῑ ῡ) or short (ᾰ ῐ ῠ).
