Detailed explanation-2: -Casca says Cicero did speak, but Casca couldn’t understand it because he was speaking Greek. Casca, not an orator himself, doesn’t know Greek. Hence the phrase, “It was Greek to me.” Casca means that everything sounds the same in a foreign language, because it is all foreign and unintelligible.
Detailed explanation-3: -Although to some it may seem an insult, the metaphor simply refers to the Greek language (either ancient or modern) as typifying foreign communication, written or spoken, and may be a dead metaphor, one that has lost its original understood meaning.
Detailed explanation-4: -The phrase ‘ all Greek to me ‘ means that you can’t comprehend what is being written or said. Example of use: “My brothers were having a discussion about the latest football fiasco, but it was all Greek to me“.
