 "answer": "Koine Greek was devised by Alexander the Great to be so clear and exact that every soldier on a battlefield would instantly understand a command. Shaped by Aristotle's mathematical precision, it became the most accurate language known to man - especially in its verb system of tense, voice, and mood - the perfect vehicle for communicating absolute truth.",
