Could anyone speaking modern greek understand the inscriptions in Athens, Ephesus, Pergamon or any ancient greek cities?

It is the same language but after 2500 years of change, so much of the vocabulary is different, the pronunciation has changed, and much of the grammar has changed as well. The alphabet is the same (though they only used capital letters then, just as the Romans only used our capital letters).
