Morality tortures men | Remarks about the translation | ethos = moral laws, morality
antropus (I assume it must be the plural form as the correct would be anthropous or antropou) = of man, of men, men
daimos = suffering, torture
ethos -> tortures -> men = morality tortures men or men suffer from the laws of morality |
