(Intro & Piano music)This word followed the route most Greek words took to come here. Greek-Latin-Old French-Middle English-Modern English. It arrived around the 14th century and it hasn't changed meaning. Αλλος (Allos) means 'other', 'another', Αγορα (agora) was the place in Ancient Greece where you'd go to shop, socialise and listen to philosophers talk. Nowadays it just means 'Market' but the verb 'Αγορευω' (agorevo)meaning 'I speak in public', is still used like that. The combination of the two gives us the noun Αλληγορία (alligoria). It's when, primarily in literature, you talk of one thing but have secret or hidden meanings in your story.
