    $\begingroup$ I normally don't like sequence puzzles, but this one was neat! There's a very clear "hook" that could lead you to the answer, and the answer is immediately self-confirming once you have it. Good puzzle! $\endgroup$

The next letter in this sequence is:

u

As these are:

The last letters in the names of characters making up the Greek alphabet, which has been in use since ancient times:

Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon, Zeta, Eta, Theta, Iota, Kappa, Lambda...

And the next character in the Greek alphabet is Mu.
