* νέα (nea): This is the closest single word, meaning "new things" or "new events." It's the root of the word "neologism," for example. However, it's not precisely equivalent to our understanding of news as current events reported in the media.
To accurately convey "news" in ancient Greek, you'd likely need a phrase describing the specific type of news, such as:
* τα καινά (ta kainá): "The new things," a more descriptive phrase.
* A phrase describing the event itself, for example, "The battle at Marathon" would convey the news of that battle.
Therefore, while νέα (nea) is the closest single word, it's important to understand the nuance and that a more descriptive phrase would often be needed for clarity.
