I had a couple of years of hebrew and latin, many years of french, and a bit of spanish in formal education.

Do you really think that greek made that much difference?

The founding fathers’ standard education included Greek and Latin and Hebrew from early years. It would have been unthinkable that they wouldn’t study these - and Hebrew - if they were going to be well-educated. That generation had the option of giving their commencement addresses in Latin, Greek, or Hebrew. They learned all three well and their studies in the languages started very young.
