Alpha is the first letter of the Greek alphabet, with a numerical value of one in ancient Greek number systems. It matters because it's a foundational letter whose origins trace back to the Phoenician alphabet and from which other writing systems, including Latin and Cyrillic, ultimately derived their own first letters.

Α, α (название: альфа, греч. άλφα, др.-греч. ἄλφα) — первая буква греческого алфавита. В системе греческой алфавитной записи чисел имеет числовое значение 1. Происходит от финикийской буквы 𐤀 — алеф, которая в переводе означает «бык» и своим начертанием изображает голову быка. От буквы альфа произошли латинская буква A и кириллическая А.
