List of Greek phrases

This list is a collection of ancient and modern Greek phrases , proverbs and sayings. It describes their use and gives the sources where possible.

Graeca non leguntur

With this stereotypical note (" Greek is not read. " - " ἑλληνικά δεν διαβάζονται "), medieval commentators on the Corpus iuris civilis , who were no longer able to speak Greek, ignored all Greek passages for which there was no Latin translation.

In ancient times, however , the Greek Koine was a world language that was retained in the Byzantine Empire. It was like the time of Cicero , who complained in the speech for Archias :

“ Graeca leguntur in omnibus fere gentibus, Latina suis finibus exiguis sane continentur. "

“ What is written in Greek is read in almost all countries, by all peoples; What is written in Latin is entirely restricted to its own small language area. "

criteria

Included on this list are words and phrases that either

• Have meaning for philosophy (e.g. Panta rhei . → Πάντα ῥεῖ. ),
• are of literary importance (e.g. the beginning of the Iliad : " Sing the wrath, O goddess, Achilles of Peleiad. " → Μῆνιν ἄειδε θεὰ Πηληιάδεω Ἀχιλῆος ),
• are of historical importance (e.g. Byzantine Empire → Βασιλεία τῶν ῾Ρωμαίων ),
• are used in the church area (e.g. Kyrie eleison . - Κύριε ἐλέησον. )
• or were role models for German or Latin proverbs (e.g. “ In vino veritas. ” “ Truth lies in wine. ” → Ἐν οἴνῳ ἀλήθεια. )

Another selection criterion is Georg Büchmann's collection of quotations, Winged Words , whereby personal names such as Nestor (old master of a science) or Mentor (adviser of a younger person ), which Büchmann viewed as winged names , were avoided.

Erasmus von Rotterdam , influential in the time of humanism, collection of quotations Adagia comprises 4,251 wisdoms, of which, however, a large part is in Latin. Even in this renowned work, the acceptance criteria are not clear, as Erasmus has described winged words, proverbs and literary quotations.

Since many phrases are often better known in their Latin version, many of them appear in the Latin phrase list as well .
