ε.
e
Lower case epsilon, the fifth letter of the ancient and modern Greek alphabets. Its name was εἶ, later ἒ ψιλόν (è psilón), and presently έψιλον (épsilon). It represents roughly the same sound in both alphabets: in Modern Greek, a somewhat lowered variant of the mid front unrounded vowel: /e/ or /e̞/. It is preceded by δ (d) and followed in the archaic alphabet by ϝ (w) and in the classical alphabet by ζ (z).
