What is the word for truth and its meaning in Koine Greek?
Last Updated: 17.06.2025 16:43
The word has remained the same into Modern Greek
as a result Alitheia, the Goddess of Truth, was always depicted as a naked, unassuming and plain looking woman. The Latin equivalent was nuda Veritas. Truth has nothing to hide and didn’t need all the adornments of the other gods.
The root verb is λανθάνω/lanthano=to escape notice/to make one forget/to lay hidden
What do you think of Andrew Tate?
The Greek word for thief/robber/pirate is ληστής/listis which is derived from λανθάνω as well
The word you are looking for is:
A similarly derived word is ληθαργία/lethargia=toiling under forgetfulness/stupor….lethargy.
What is the best time for conception?
There is absolutely no relation to λίθος/lithos=stone. Notice the η vs ι.
the word is composed of the privative prefix α- and λήθη/lethe which means “forgetfulness/stupor”. So the αλήθεια means “without fault/stupor/hiding”
Nuda Veritas is the derivation of the term “Naked Truth”.
