How do you spell the name of the greek goddess of discord? I think Its ares but it's not spelled like that?
Eris in Greek Mythology


The Greek goddess Eris was the personification of discord or strife. She appears in Hesiod's Theogony as the daughter of Nyx (Night).


Eris played a significant part in Greek mythology. One of the most important legends in which she is involved begins with a wedding - the wedding of Peleus and Thetis, to be precise. Apparently, someone forgot to invite the goddess of discord to the festivities. That was the first mistake in a long chain of disastrous events. For Eris simply showed up at the wedding anyway, with mayhem on her mind. When she arrived, the goddess tossed a golden apple into the crowd of famous faces. This tempting apple was tagged with the phrase "to the fairest".






Reply:For Greek people: it's E - R- I - S





For Roman people: it's D - I - S - C - O - R - D- I - A.

What is the latin or greek name for the following?

(good answer recieve's the best answer)


1)tungsten


2)mercury


3)gold


4)silver


5)tin


6)iron

What is the latin or greek name for the following?
tungsten - wolfram


mercury - mercurius


gold - aurum


silver - argentum


tin- in greek, also tin...in latin, plumbum candidum


iron -ferrum
Reply:iron is same
Reply:All of the answers given before me were correct with one major flaw: tungsten is known as Wolfram in GERMAN, not Latin. It is from this derivation that the symbol for tungsten is W. The Romans had no knowledge of Tungsten, and so would not have created a name for it.
Reply:Try this reference. Doesnt give silver or tungsten. Try google that is what I did for this table athough I knew gold tin and iron already.





Ooops someone already gave the answers. I am not sure that Wolfram is latin, I thought that came from german.





(added): And why isn't silver argyrum, because mercury is hydrargyrum which means liquid silver or quicksilver? (just curious).





Oh and this place is even better http://environmentalchemistry.com/yogi/p...
Reply:Tungsten - Was not identified as an element until 1783 - Romans did not know it, so no Latin word.





Mercury - Argentum Vivium. Hydrargyrum is Latinized Greek. The Romans used argentum vivium - living silver.





Gold - Aurum





Silver - Argentum





Tin - Stannum only in Late Latin. Generally called Plumbum Album (White Lead) or Plumbum Candidum (Bright Lead).





Iron - Ferrum.





Both tungsten and wolfram come from Swedish, not German - 'tung sten' and 'volf rahm'.
Reply:1)tungsten Latin: Wolframium


2)mercury Latin: hydrargyrus


3)gold Latin: Aurum


4)silver: latin: Kalium

What was the name of the greek building that had four columns in front and back, with thick walls on the side?

It also had two columns inside, and didn't have a roof.





I need to know to draw a picture of it for my history class. If you could include a picture, I'd really appreciate it.





We all started drawing it in class, but I didn't finish and it's not in the text book.

What was the name of the greek building that had four columns in front and back, with thick walls on the side?
If you don't know the name of the building, do you by any chance know where it stands? That will help, to give you more information.


I have posted some links for you to see if they meet your question.


The only building that I know with 4 columns is the Erechtheion, but then my knowledge of ancient buildings is limited. Its North side could be what you are asking.





On further search I think the building on the first link is the one fitting your description. I'm positive that is the one.
Reply:The type of building you mention is an amphi-prostyle (columns on both facades) tetrastyle (four columns on each facade) temple. The two columns are behind the facade, ate the opening between the walls. Such a building is the temple of Athena Nike on the Acropolis. It used to have a roof though. Also, many propyla (monumental entrance buildings) have this typology.
Reply:You could be describing any classical Greek building, but if it is part of your school corriculum it most probably was a building on the Acropolis (Parthenon or Propylaea or the Erechtheum) or maybe the Agora (Birth place of Democracy) and the Stoa of Attalos...





If you can let us know what area this building is located we can give you a name :-)

Well, the way you have spelt it will lead to great misunderstanding, even by Greeks. If your sources are correct, then this last name is most likely to end in -(o)poulos (distinctive, probably shows origin from the area of Peloponnese). As for the first part, regas-.., I can't think of anything (written either as rege or rega or raige... etc). Possible variants are Regopoulos, Rigopoulos or Rogkopoulos, Rogopoulos ...

What does the greek name, "Artemis," mean?

I need this ASAP, but if would be nice to know after my project is due, too.

What does the greek name, "Artemis," mean?
Robert Graves suggests in his book The Greek Myths (but only in the index and only with a question mark) that it may mean "high source of water." I can't find anything in my Greek dictionary to support this etymology, but Graves may be drawing from some pre-Hellenic word. My dictionary does list the adjective "artemes" (accent on the last syllable, which in which the e is an eta rather than the epsilon after the m in all three words), meaning safe and sound, and the noun "artemia" (accent on the i), meaning security or safety. My fifteen hours of college Greek aren't enough to enable me to know whether there's a connection with the goddess's name or whether those words reached their similar form by some other route!
Reply:It doesn't really mean anything in particular. It's from the ancient Greek goddess, Artemis, who was the goddess of the moon and of the hunt, among other things.

What is the greek name for this argument fallacy?

When someone explains away an inevitable event with some wacky reasoning that has nothing to do with the real cause of said event.

What is the greek name for this argument fallacy?
Post hoc ergo propter hoc, Latin for "after this, therefore because of this", is a logical fallacy (of the questionable cause variety) which assumes or asserts that if one event happens after another, then the first must be the cause of the second. It is often shortened to simply post hoc and is also sometimes referred to as false cause, multicollinearity, or coincidental correlation.
Reply:Pragmatic Fallacy


In modern-day english, it is also called fallacy of begging the question.


It is the use of propositions by an arguer to convince, persuade, or refute another arguer in a context of dialogue. Certain parts of these semantics, which is concerned between the relationship of falsehood of propositions, and with logical reasoning, which is concerned in diagramming the structure of the sequences of arguments.

What is a good greek name inspired by the name Caroline?

for a paper, and i need a greek sounding name but still sounding like caroline.

What is a good greek name inspired by the name Caroline?
Carolinus, Carolinthius and Caroldiusius are names for a male. Carolinian is an adjective.


The 鈥搃x names are not greek.


There is no greek name for Caroline, but if you want it to sound greek (to a Greek person nowadays), you should pick Carolina, and pronounce the "i" like an "ee".


If you want a greek name in etymology, then the closest you can get is a name that begins with Calli-.


This word comes from a greek adjective that means "good", or "beautiful".


Here are some female names starting with Calli-:





Callidike (The one that is just)


Calliope (The one that has a beautiful voice)


Callithoe (The one tha has a positive, a good energy)


Callithaea (The one that has a beautiful appearance)


Callicrateira (The one that reigns, governs well)


Calligaeneia (The one of noble ancestry)


Callipateira (as above)


Callidora means the bringer of beautiful gifts.


There are even more like these, but the closest in pronounciation is Callirrhoe, because of the presence of "l" and "r", that make it sound more like "Caroline".





Callirrhoe(Kallir贸锚) was a Naiad in greek mythology.


Naiads were nymphs.


More about Callirrhoe (etymology) and the other Naiads can be found in Wikipedia.





Calandra is also greek, but I dont know the etymology.

Reply:I like this one.


I'll start off with some of my observations:


1. Hindu and Greek cultures shared far too many things. Their mythologies run parallel, but the Greek mythology is now supplanted by Christian theology and remains of story value, only. What is more, all the mythology is translated in to the Stellar constellations and their lore.


2. There is lot of exchange in astronomy. It is difficult to establish which specific topic of astronomy is original to whom. Some, like the works of 'Varaha mihira', 'Brahma gupta' and 'Aryabhata' (I have his work with me) have the stamp of originality.


3. there are 24 letters in Greek alphabet starting with 'alpha' and 'Beta'. The first two Nakshatras (Asterisms) are named 'Aswini' and 'Bharani' conforming to greek alphabet, which may not be a coincidence. There are three Nakshatras with 'poorva' (pre-) and 'uttara' (post-) prefixes before their names. That mens originally there might have been 24 nakshatras to match Greek version (and their alphabet). Later, to account for the 27 days of the moon for a lunar (Siderial) month, 3 of them doubled into 6. Probably Greeks named after their letters.


Now, the Nakshatras:


1. As`wini AlphaAries


2. Bharani Delta Aries


3. Krittika Pleiades[M45]


4. Rohini 'Aldebaran' (Alpha Tauris)


5. Mrga s`ira Pi Orionis


6. Ardra 'Betelgeuse' (Alpha Orionis)


7. Punarvasu 'Castor' (Alpha-)%26amp;'Pollux' (Beta Geminorum)


8. Pushyami 'Praesepe' ('M44' in Cancer)


9. As`lesha Lamda Leo


10.Makha 'Regulus' (Alpha Leonis)


11.Poorv Phalguni Theta Leonis


12.Uttara Phalguni Beta Leonis


13.Hasta Corvus .. 5 satrs shaped like 'hand'


14.Chitta Spica (Alpha Virgo)


15.Swati 'Arcturus' (Alpha Bootes)


16.Vis`akha Alpha Librae


18.Anuradha Delta Scorpionis


19.Jyest'ha 'Antares' (Alpha Scorpionis)


20. Moola Lamda Scorpionis


21.P. Ashad'ha Sigma Sagittarius


22.U. Ashad'hs Delta Sagittarius


23.S`ravanam 'Altair'(Alpha Aquila)


24.Dhanishta Delta Delphinus


25.S`atabhisham Sigma Aquarii


26.P.Bhadra Alpha Pegasi


27.U.Bhadra Gama Pegasi


28.Revathi Beta Piscii


Some like 'Arcturus', 'Altair' and Delphinus constellation even though far from Ecliptic were chosen as there are only faint stars nearby. 'M' stands for Messier list of Nebulae, Globular and other clusters.

Since Yeshua spoke hebrew and evidently aramic,why would he take on a greek name?

when i met some one of another nationality i don't change my name and how it is said to please others?





why was this liberty taken with his name?








Almost the entire Old Testament was written in Hebrew during the thousand years of its composition. But a few chapters in the prophecies of Ezra and Daniel and one verse in Jeremiah were written in a language called Aramaic.

Since Yeshua spoke hebrew and evidently aramic,why would he take on a greek name?
There is nothing wrong with it {if} Jesus means "savior" in greek meaning, if you speek greek this is how you would call out his name, so in english we should be calling him by the name of savior since this is his attribute and since Yeshua is the hebrew way of saying savior this is why we call him by that name, also this is the name the messenger told Miriam the wife of Yosef she should call him.

Also there is evidence to support the fact that the whole of the NT was

Reply:I think the New Testament was written in Greek.


I think the meaning was considered more important at that time then the spelling or pronunciation. Greek was the English at that time but was supplanted by Latin, I think I remember. So calling him Jesus made him and his story and message more universal which I think was an important theme going forward.


ALTHOUGH I think I like the name Yeshua more because of its authenticity and the sound and appearance as well as it relationship to the Old Testament forerunner Joshua which I'd also guess is Yeshua. My oldest son is Joshua James I think it was a nice Bibliosity to it, Do You?


Oh I missed in your question I don't think Yeshua was physically present went the Bible was written he had ascended into heaven and I am thinking he'd have been cool with that, but he definitely hated sin but loved sinners of whom I am chief!
Reply:Well, Jesus was Iesous in Greek. We get Jesus from the Latin Iesus, from the Greek Iesous. Actually, many names change depending on the language you speak. John is a good example. It is Juan in Spanish, Johann in German, Giovanni in Italian, etc.





Anyway, God inspired the New Testament to be written in Greek. Iesous is how Jesus' name was preserved. And bible truth has nothing to do with superstitions that requires uttering names in certain ancient vocal intonations, especially since today nobody knows how ANY Greek or Hebrew word in Jesus' day was pronounced.
Reply:Your question raises more important questions!





Aside from Christian writers....Did Jesus or his disciples leave any writings behind...? How would anyone know what Jesus really said... word-for-word?


Is this not important to have the authentic and completely accurate scrips of All the disciples and Jesus... such as an example of todays modern stenographer or court reporter for accuratecy and authenticity .....Since JUST ONE WORD OR TENSE can change the entire meaning of what was said !?!?





Why are the earliest existing writings of Jesus from the second century and written in Greek !?...when Jesus and his disciples were supposedly Jews who would plausibly write hebrew (If they did write) long before the second century?





How can the Greek Text canon, with its UNKNOWN writers own words of what they thought the gospal characters MIGHT HAVE SAID !?!????... Be called "The word of God" !!????





another words...





Since the Christian writers of the Greek Text canon were not eye witnesses to Jesus or his disciples... How did the EXACT word-for-word dialogues or ANY authentic dialogues of the gospel characters materialize ....without Fabrication or Invention from Christian writers?

i know is what delivered me from blind belief and misunderstanding as well as getting high and living in lust.





this is what got me a new and happiest life=I am Jewish myself and believe in the Jewish Messiah Yeshua/Jesus and heavenly proud of it.


I also led to the Messiah before she passed away= my Jewish bubie from Boston and helped to get another Messianic Jewish person to lead my Zadie (grandpa and Bubie is Yiddish for grandma) to the Messiah.


During the holocaust and before in the Polish revivals Messianic Jews led many to the Messiah Yeshua/Jesus. and even in the death camps people like


Corie Ten Boon (The Hidding Place) led many to the Messiah, she was put in concentration camp for being in the family that hid Jewish people in thier home in Holland.





Why not come to the Messiah?


Leviticus 17:11 says "without the shedding of blood there is no atonement for the soul.





Isaiah 52:12-53:12 says one will come and be exalted but first marred more than any man and be rejected and lay down his life as a lamb to make forgivenss for our sins.





to the "Jewish' people that claim there is no hell Daniel 12:1%26amp;2 states some will go to everlasting life and some to everlasting abhorance.





the claim today is as long as you dont believe in the Messiah Yeshua/Jesus you are 'Jewish' is answered also in Isaiah 53 "He will be despised and rejected and lay down his life to forgive our sins."





to these "Jewish" people many here in aligence wtih the Pagans JPA Jewish Pagan Association, if you believed as many did that Rabbi Schneerson was the Messiah, your still Jewish (even though he wastn born in Bethlehem (Micah 5:1%26amp;2) Didnt live sinless, didnt get offered to die for our sins, wasnt mighty God the prince of peace, the child born the son given (Isaiah 9:5%26amp;6, wasnt emanuel/God with us from a miracle birth to an alma pure young virgin (Isaiah 7:13%26amp;14)





Give your heart to the Messiah you will never regret it, i havent.


he promises he loves you and knocks on your heart door to come in deliver from sin and be your best friend Revelation 3:19%26amp;20





I prayed, "Help me messiah, I am sorry for my sins, come into my heart and be my best friend, amen"

How do you pronounce this Greek name?

I met a very nice greek girl in one of my college classes and I want to make sure about the pronunciation of her last name. It bothers her because nobody can ever get it right.


The last name is Dimitroulakos. Would you pronounce this Di-mee-tra-lakos? Or is it different?

This is so stupid I don't know how this poor guy knows his answer now?!


What do you think?!?!





Guys, guys, the question was not "How many Greeks does it take to screw one simple answer"?
Reply:Dimitroulakos


Agreed with the first poster with one remark only... on the Di- syllable.





Di (as in dee-r)





mi (as in me... (like that song, Me my self and I)





trou (as in tru-th)





la (as in La-rry)





kos (as in Cos-tanza George, the character from the show "Seinfeld")








PS. Don't pronounce her name in 5 breaths...


(Dee - me - tru - la -cos)


Take a deep one and lead the name train all the way to the station... non-stop!





Deemetrulacos.





(THATS it! ;-) )





EDIT : Some very good points have been made here as far the correct pronunciation of "Di".





If you want to be 100% Greek in your pronounciacion of the girl's name use the following guide :





Di (as in the. Example : The rain, the outcome, the Greek girl)





mi (as in me... (like that song, Me my self and I)





trou (as in tru-th)





la (as in La-rry)





kos (as in Cos-tanza George, the character from the show "Seinfeld")





EDIT #2 : If she resided in Greece, her last name would indeed be Dimitroulakou and not Dimitroulakos. But she is not a Greek resident and I assume she does not carry a Greek ID card either, I suggest you disregard the option of calling her as "Dimitroulakou".





...unless of course you really want to impress her :-)





EDIT #3 : I am Greek, born and living in Greece.
Reply:Trek is correct and also the stress falls on the LA syllable. DeemeetruLAkos. And yes, in Greece we would pronounce "d" as "th" in "the", "therefore", "there" etc.

Reply:Let's take it apart, per syllable.





Di - pronounce it like "thee", ex. how I love THEE...





mi- pronounce it like "me" in "she loves ME"





trou- pronounce it like "true" in "it's TRUE", but if you can, roll the "r" like you would if you were speaking spanish.





la- pronounce the "a" in "la" like the a in "fAther"





kos- pronounce like the island, Kos, or to put it in a more american way, pronounce the "o" in kos like you would the "o" in "loss".





And there you have it, thee-me-true-la-kos. And the accent/stress is on the "la"
Reply:no but actually only the "tra" in your guess is wrong


here you can get an idea:


Di as in disney


mi as me


trou as true


lak as luck


and


os as at the beginning of ostrich





oh and for a more greekish accent try pronouncing Di as "thee"





so its " thee-me-true-luck-os"








hope it helps!!!!

This is funny...every Greek has a different answer. LOL

Reply:I agree 99% with the person above me.
Reply:Charles is quite right, but I would say "thee" instead of "the". Thus it is - thee-mee-true-lakos with the accent on "la". As Charles points out, in Greece her surname would be thee-mee-true-lakoo, but obviously, in America husbands and wives don't have different surnames.





I'd just like to point out that this question should be answered by people who actually live in Greece or who are absolutely certain, otherwise the person who asks the question is just going to get confused.
Reply:fffff....again with this wrong transliteration of the others above...Dimitroulakos first of all is the male version so i guess the female one is Dimitroulakou (call her like that to surprise her) and to be 100% accurate it's Thimitroulakou 'th' sounds as th in 'these' 'that' 'those' etc...I don't understand why the greeks are still transliterating this with a D the sound is absolutely not the same..
Reply:You are pronuncing it most of it right...just change the TRA....to TRU.....deva has shown you how an english person can work thier tounge around it...so its ...DIMI-TRU-LA-KOS......ps ..dimitra ..is feminin...dimitrou..is male.......the lakos part means hole..or pit...dimitrou is the derivitive of the name JIM.IN ENGLISH...OR JAMES...THE EQUVILANT IN GREEK IS ..DIMITRI...

Is Athena Natalie Portocolus a wholesome GREEK name a girl can grow up with?

Is Athena Natalie Portocolus a wholesome GREEK name a girl can grow up with?
I think it is a wonderful name. Very sophisticated and Greek. Absolutely perfect.
Reply:Well, I'm Greek and i honestly don't like the surname(Portocolus) at all!It is Greek and It may sound good to others because it has the letters r and l which sound nice to foreigners but in Greek its meaning is bad...


Portocolus:


Porto: derives from the Greek word porta (蟺蠈蟻蟿伪) which means door


colus: i think it has to do with (at least it reminds me of) the Greek word kolos which means a.s.s....!


I didn't mean to insult you or anyone who has that surname but that's the truth... Sorry...


If you lived in Greece, you were about 10 and you had that surname you would be definitely laughed at by your naughty and rude classmates at school... Imagine that i had that experience because my last name means "little basket"! However, if you don't live in Greece i don't think that you will have a similar problem. As i can see, the people above ,who are probably not Greeks, liked that surname! Therefore, yes it is a girl can grow up with! I grew up with my last name! The point is to realize that there is a long history behind each Greek surname and if you change or dislike your last name it is like you reject your roots and your history...





OK, i adore the names! Athena! What a wonderful name! It reminds me of my city, Athens, and of course the goddess of wisdom Athena!


Natalie is also an awesome name since it has the consonants n and l which really sound good!
Reply:Yes, it's very nice. A lot of people on here freak out when they see Greek names, not realizing that the people asking are Greek, and the name reflects the family heritage. I love the name Athena, and it's a very nice way of continuing the family tradition. Go for it =)

What was the Greek name of the god Janus?

Also, what were his symbols, where did he live, who were his parents/borthers/sisters/parents, some facts about him, and association of places other than his home?

What was the Greek name of the god Janus?
There are lots of gods associated with the Sun, but they're not all the same. Janus has associations with the Sun, but *not* with the other Sun god Helios; Apollo is actually more relevant, but again these are separate deities we're discussing. The Greeks associated Janus with the Etruscan deity Ani.





From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janus


"In Roman mythology, Janus (or Ianus) was the god of gates, doors, doorways, beginnings and endings. His most prominent remnants in modern culture are his namesakes: the month of January, which begins the new year, and the janitor, who is a caretaker of doors and halls. Janus was usually depicted with two heads looking in opposite directions. According to a legend, he had received from the God Saturn, in reward for the hospitality received, the gift to see both future and past."

Reply:This information is easily found by simply googling it. And to be quite frank, it sounds like a homework question. Answers is not here to do your homework for you. But I will tell you that Janus is identified with the Greek god Helios. Now all you have to do is google Helios!
Reply:Helios is the Greek name of Janus. Helios was charged with the Sun.
Reply:Wikipedia has this one wrong, be ware. Janus doesn't have a Greek counter part; he is one of the few thing that the Romans didn't steal and actually make them selves.
Reply:There is no correspondant of Janus in Greek mythology. You should google it. It is not a well known god.

Greek name?

Im looking for someone and all i have as a vague clue what his last name could be: something with "Karakou" or similair. Anyone familiair with Greek last names that could provide me with possible names?

Greek name?
I've heard of this surname before but then again it could be anything...The prefix Kara- indicates a turkish origin (kara means black in turkish btw) and it's a very common prefix in Greek surnames so it doesn't really help much...Also the ending -kou is very popular, especially in Cypriot male surnames, but there are numeous combinations for what's in between the two, if you know what I mean. One possible similar-sounding surname I can think of is Kiriakou or Kyriakou, which is quite common in Greece. I don't know if that helps. As I said, it could be anything, but Karakou as it is, sounds perfectly fine to me.

Reply:Kiriakous or Kiriakis
