“It’s all Greek to me” can be traced as far back to a Latin idiom “Graecum est; non legitur” (“it is Greek, it cannot be read”) and is used in reference to something that is perplexing. Yet, William Shakespeare made this Latin phrase quite popular, through bringing this ancient saying into our modern day English with his 1599 tragedy about Julius Caesar.
Shakespeare, however, wasn’t the only author to use this phrase; Thomas Dekker used the phrase in his play ‘Patient Grissel’ in 1603.
