Simple Guide to Greek Verb Tense, Voice, Mood How to Perform a Greek Word Study Using Tools Available on the Web Interpretation - Word Studies are important Inductive Bible Study - Why is it so valuable for growth in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ? GREEK WORD STUDIES INDEX TO ENGLISH WORDS WITH GREEK WORD STUDIES A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Another quick way to see if an English word has a corresponding Greek word study is to search this page by pressing your "Ctrl Key" and the letter "F" which in Chrome or IE pops up a search box in which you can enter your query. 1) Words highlighted in yellow in the commentaries on the website have an associated in depth word study. (Note that the transition from the old site lost the yellow highlighting which has to be added again -- a slow process!) 2) Click the Greek word below for the in depth definition on preceptaustin.org. Using the first entry as an example... Abandon (desert, forsake, leave) (1459) egkataleipo Click on the word egkataleipo for the in depth definition on preceptaustin.org. If you click the Strong's Number (1459 in the example above) it will take you to Studylight.org's definition (which includes Thayer's abbreviated and full definition and Liddell-Scott-Jones' definition). NOTE: If you do not know the Strong's Number click Greek Word Study and go to "STEP 1: DETERMINE STRONG'S NUMBER." Then you can return to this page to see if there is a definition of the word you are studying. To find theS trong's Number on this page use control + F for PC or for Mac use Command + F (use Chrome not Firefox) to bring up the "Find" function. Enter the Strong's number or word. If there is no definition listed, obviously you will not find a Strong's Number on this page. Check back as this page is frequently updated with additional in depth word studies. 3) Are you looking for a Greek word not in this list? There are many Greek words defined on this website that are not in this list. How do you find them? Enter the Strong's number in the Search Preceptaustin box near the top of this page. This will bring up all hits of pages where your Strong's number is found. Then to find the Strong's Number on a specific page use control + F for PC or Command + F for Mac (using Chrome not Firefox) to bring up the "Find function. Enter the Strong's number which should discover the location on that page. Someone has well said that those who shun the study of the original Biblical languages will find themselves at the mercy of the translators.

  • What the Muses Sang: Theogony 1-115 Jenny Strauss Clay
    STRAUSS CLAY, JENNY, What the Muses Sang: "Theogony" 1-115 , Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies, 29:4 (1988:Winter) p.323 What the Muses Sang: Theogony 1-115 Jenny Strauss Clay HE PROEM to the Theogony has often been analyzed both in T terms of its formal structure and in relation to recurrent hym­ nic conventions;l it has also been interpreted as a fundamental statement of archaic Greek poetics.2 While differing somewhat in its perspective, the present investigation builds on and complements those previous studies. Dedicated to the Muses, the patronesses of poetry, the opening of the Theogony repeatedly describes these divini­ ties engaged in their characteristic activity, that is, singing. In the course of the proem, the Muses sing four times: once as they descend from Helicon (lines 11-21), twice on Olympus (44-50, 66f), and once as they make their way from their birthplace in Pieria and ascend to Olympus (71-75). In addition, the prologue describes the song the goddesses inspire in their servants, the aoidoi (99-101), as well as the song Hesiod requests that they sing for him, the invocation proper (105-15). My aim here is a simple one: to examine the texts and contexts of each of these songs and to compare them to the song the Muses instruct Hesiod to sing and the one he finally produces. I See, for example, P. Friedlander, "Das Pro6mium von Hesiods Theogonie" (1914), in E. HEITSCH, Hesiod (Darmstadt 1966: hereafter "Heitsch") 277-94; W.

  • Three Desert Ammas—Theodora, Sarah, and Syncletica
    COURAGEOUS WOMEN: THREE DESERT AMMAS-THEODORA, SARAH, AND SYNCLETICA A New Translation from the Greek Alphabetical Apophthegmata Patrum, with Introduction, Notes, and Comments' Tim Vivian INTRODUCTION Something like 90% of classical Greek and Roman literature is lost to us. This realization becomes acute, even heartbreaking, when we think of how very little of the little we have is by women. An exception that proves the rule is Plutarch’s “Sayings of Trojan Women,” in the Moralia.2 A unique manuscript of Catullus’ poems survived in a wine jar discovered in a monastery. How many of us would delight—exult—to have the complete poems of Sappho? This attrition continues into early Christianity: Paul names quite a few women in ministry; we have authentic writings by none of them.1 In the New Testament we also have T permit no woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she is to keep silent.”4 In the decade before or after the turn of the fourth century, Bishop Theophilus of Alexandria ups the ante, even when he, seemingly, has all the chips: Tim Vivian is a retired Episcopal priest and emeritus professor of Religious Studies at California State University, Bakersfield. He is an expert on Coptic monasticism and has published widely on that subject in this and other journals. 1 A different version of this article will appear as part of a 2-volume translation of the Alphabetical Apophthegmata Patrum (The Sayings of the Desert Fathers), with notes and comments, forthcoming from Cistercian Publications. I wish to thank Kathleen Norris for reading a draft of this article, Joseph Trigg for things Origen, and Janet Gonzales and Chris Livingston at the CSU Bakersfield Walter Stiern Library for help with research materials.

  • Pre-Philosophical Conceptions of Truth in Ancient Greece
    Pre-Philosophical Conceptions of Truth in Ancient Greece https://www.ontology.co/aletheia-prephilosophical.htm Theory and History of Ontology by Raul Corazzon | e-mail: [email protected] PRE-PHILOSOPHICAL CONCEPTS OF TRUTH IN ANCIENT GREECE THE PRE-PHILOSOPHICAL USAGE OF ALETHÉIA HOMER Texts: Studies: "As scholars have often pointed out, the word Aletheia only occurs in the Iliad and the Odyssey in connection with verbs of saying, and its opposite is a lie or deception. Someone always tells the truth to another. Of the seventeen occurrences, (a) this triadic pattern is explicit in all but six, and in those few cases the reference to a hearer is clearly implied. Truth has to do with the reliability of what is said by one person to another. What is not so often pointed out are some quite distinctive features of the Homeric use of Aletheia. This is not the only word Homer uses to mean truth; he has a number of other words which mean 'true', 'genuine', 'accurate', and 'precise' (atrekes, eteos, etetumos, etumos). These words, as adjectives or adverbs, occur freely in the midst of stories and speeches. By contrast, Aletheia occurs almost always as a noun or neuter adjective (once the cognate adverb alethes is used). It is the word Homer uses when he wishes to signify 'the truth'. Furthermore, it is very revealing that the sentence, 'Then verily, child, I will tell you the truth', occurs five times in the Odyssey with but minor variations. (b) It is a high-sounding formula used to introduce a speech. The repetition of lines and formulaic phrases-sometimes, indeed, a number of lines-is a feature of the Homeric style.

ISSN 1436-3003 Preface I am intrigued by subjects that defy the facile scholarly categorizations which assume that the universal and the particular, the objective and the personal, the diachronic and the contingent, belong necessarily to different fields of study. For that reason I chose to examine from a historical perspective phenomena that seem to be most resistant to change: beliefs about the afterlife, attitudes towards death, funerary and commemorative rituals, that is, acts which by definition are characterized by formalism, traditionalism and repetitiveness.

  • Expanding the Letter to the Hebrews from Within
    Expanding the Letter to the Hebrews from Within Introduction This document came into existence as the result of three shorter essays written not long before it, The First City, Mystery People and On the Idea of Returning. All deal with different topics yet are related even though I had no intent to make them as such. Before moving into Hebrews itself, let’s look at the two points of connection among them all because they tie in with each other in some way or other. In a way, the first is the most important insofar as it represents a time when I began to develop an approach to scripture different from the one to which I had been accustomed. In that article I recounted events starting from when Adam and Eve had been banished from the Garden of Eden through the founding of the first city and then on to the flood. Cain, who had murdered his brother Abel, became a wander and eventually settled down to found the world’s first city which he named Enoch, that is, after his son. From then on, human civilization began a downward spiral which forced the Lord to destroy every living thing on earth in order to renew creation. All these events are mythic in that they point to more profound realities than any historical ones. The second article examines references to healing in the Gospel of St. Matthew with special attention given to the various scenarios of what could have happened to those whom Jesus had cured. For the most part these people remain anonymous which conveys a certain sense of mystery.

Jaffe A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy Graduate Department of Political Science University of Toronto © Copyright by Seth Nathan Jaffe (2012) Abstract Thucydides on the Outbreak of War By Seth N. Jaffe A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Political Science University of Toronto (2012) This project illuminates Thucydides’ political thought through a novel interpretation of the first book of the History of the Peloponnesian War. It explores how Thucydides reveals the human causes of war through the outbreak of a particular war, the Peloponnesian war. The primary claim is that Thucydides intends the breakdown of the Thirty Years’ Peace between Athens and the Peloponnesians, which inaugurates the great Peloponnesian war, to be understood by grasping how the characters of the Athenian and Spartan regimes contribute to the outbreak of the war and, crucially, how Athens and Sparta differently express human nature. In broad outline, the History’s first book reveals how the regime characters of Athens and Sparta inform their respective foreign policies, but also how the interaction between the two cities—informed by the distinctive necessities pressing upon them— causes the Hellenic status quo to tremble and fall. Throughout the first book, while never obscuring the specific events triggering war, Thucydides progressively develops and expands his original statement that it was Spartan fear of Athenian power that compelled the fighting. The study argues that necessity (or compulsion) is the bright thread that Thucydides uses to guide his reader through the episodes of the first book, from the immediate causes of the Peloponnesian war to the human causes of war, from the particular events to the History’s universal themes.

Abstract The trumpet from the 5th century BC in ancient Greece, the salpinx, has been largely ignored in modern scholarship. My thesis begins with the origins and physical characteristics of the Greek trumpet, comparing trumpets from other ancient cultures. I then analyse the sounds made by the trumpet, and the emotions caused by these sounds, noting the growing sophistication of the language used by Greek authors. In particular, I highlight its distinctively Greek association with the human voice. I discuss the range of signals and instructions given by the trumpet on the battlefield, demonstrating a developing technical vocabulary in Greek historiography. In my final chapter, I examine the role of the trumpet in peacetime, playing its part in athletic competitions, sacrifice, ceremonies, entertainment and ritual. The thesis re-assesses and illustrates the significant and varied roles played by the trumpet in Greek culture. 3 Echoes of the salpinx : the trumpet in ancient Greek culture Title page page 1 Declaration of Authorship page 2 Abstract page 3 Table of Contents pages
