Delta Zeta

Epsilon (uppercase Ε, lowercase ε; Greek: Έψιλον) is the fifth letter of the Greek alphabet, corresponding phonetically to a close-mid front unrounded vowel /e/. In the system of Greek numerals it has a value of 5. It was derived from the Phoenician letter He . Letters that arose from Epsilon include the Roman E and Cyrillic Ye.

"Epsilon" (ἒ ψιλόν, "simple e") was coined to distinguish the letter from αι, which by the medieval period was pronounced the same way.

The standard symbol for lowercase epsilon is the lunate epsilon ϵ (\epsilon, , in LaTeX), which has its origins in Medieval Greek.

In mathematical notation, the minuscule open e symbol ɛ (\varepsilon, , in LaTeX) from the extended Latin alphabet is often used interchangeably with the lunate epsilon.

The lunate epsilon ϵ is not to be confused with the set symbol ∈ or falsely recognized as the lunate version Σ.

  • Ikariam uses the term as the name of the "world" that has "s5" in its URL, no matter which language version is concerned.
