The longest word in the world with 78 syllables and 172 letters spoken in ancient greek pronunciation

The Greek language has been spoken uninterruptedly from ancient times until today (with obvious changes over the years), which has led to the existence of thousands of words.

The wealth of the Greek language is very great and well known. However, what has not yet been recorded is the longest word in the number of characters.

The word found in "Ekklesiazouses" by Aristophanes (verses 1169-1175) will be difficult even for the greatest enthusiast of the ancient Greek language and reads as follows:

Lopado­temacho­selacho­galeo­kranio­leipsano­drim­hypo­trimmato­silphio­karabo­melito­katakechy­meno­kichl­epi­kossypho­phatto­perister­alektryon­opte­kephallio­kigklo­peleio­lagoio­siraio­baphe­tragano­pterygon

It is a transliteration of the Ancient Greek word:

“λοπαδο­τεμαχο­σελαχο­γαλεο­κρανιο­λειψανο­δριμ­υπο­τριμματο­σιλφιο­καραβο­μελιτο­κατακεχυ­μενο­κιχλ­επι­κοσσυφο­φαττο­περιστερ­αλεκτρυον­οπτο­κεφαλλιο­κιγκλο­πελειο­λαγῳο­σιραιο­βαφη­τραγανο­πτερύγων”
