What is a greek go or goddess name that starts with the letter k?

This is another tough one to answer quickly. In Greek, the letter K is "Kappa" - the hard K sound. In Latin, there was no "K". They used the letter "C" for this sound. For some reason, as Latin changed, the hard "K" was replaced with the soft "S" sound. As an example, we pronounce Cicero as "SIS-er-oh" when in fact, it was "KIK-er-oh". So, most of the Greek mythological names have been "Latinized", so that the Romans would understand their meaning. Whenever there was a "K", it usually becomes a "C" when Latinized (unless it starts with CH, which is actually the letter Chi or "X"). Those names that start with K were ones not observed by the Romans. As an example, Cronus was actually Kronos. Here are the ones I know: Coeus (Κοῖος - Koios), Crius (Κρεῖος - Kreios), Clymene (Κλυμένη - Klemene), Cottus (Κόττος - Kottos), Caerus (Καιρός - Kairos), Corus (Κόρος - Koros), Kakia (Kακία), Kalokagathia (Καλοκαγαθία), The Keres (Κῆρες), Koalemos (Κοάλεμος), Kratos (Κράτος), Kydoimos (Κυδοιμός), Clotho (Κλωθώ - Klotho), Cerberus (Κέρβερος - Kerberos), Keuthonymos (Κευθόνυμος), Kokytos (Kωκυτός), Ceto (Κῆτώ - Keto), Cymopoleia (Κυμοπόλεια - Kymopoleia), Karkinos (Καρκίνος), Celaeno (Κελαινώ - Kelaino), Cabeiri (Κάβειροι - Kabeiroi), The Cercopes (Κέρκοπες - Kerkopes), Comus (Κόμος - Komos), Corymbus (Κόρυμβος - Korymbos), The Curetes (Κουρέτες - Kouretes), Cybele (Κυβέλη - Kybele), Cladeus (Κλάδεος - Kladeos), Cocytus (Kωκυτός - Kokytos), and of course, the Cyclopes (Κύκλωπες - Kyklopes)

What ideas did the Greeks adopt from the Phoenicians?

None. It was thought that the Greeks adopted the alphabet and the color named 'tyrian purple'. The reverse is actually the case as the Phoenicians did not have an alphabet they had a cuneiform script lacking any vowels. The Greek proper alphabet of linear A and linear B both predate phoenician cuneiform script. The archaeological findings in Crete at Komos has unearthed murex shells (used to make 'Tyrian purple', which show that the Minoans cultivated the sea-snail in factory farms for the production of the purple dye at least 300 years before it appeared in Tyre. The Phoenicians did however become strong traders using the ships and celestial navigation adopted from the Greeks.


In the biblical sense what does the word revelry mean?

The closest word in the KJV is the word REVELLINGS. It is found three times in the NT - Romans 13:13 (rioting), Galatians 5:21 (revellings) and in 1 Peter 4:3 (revellings). The Greek word is KOMOS. It speaks of carousal, a nocturnal and riotous procession of half drunken and frolicsome fellows who after supper parade through the streets with torches and music in honour of Bacchus or some other deity, and sing and play before houses of male and female friends; hence used generally of feasts and drinking parties that are protracted till late at night and indulge in revelry (Thayer). The root word comes from the idea of "to lie down." These were riotous drinking parties. In all three uses, it speaks of what a BELIEVER USED TO DO, or a work of the flesh (which a believer is not to be doing).
