| | Ho pots dir també en català (aquà és una frase força emprada) :
"Quatre ulls hi veuen més que dos"
Salutacions! |

| | Hi guys!
I know " εἰμί" can behave as enclitic, but I'm not sure if we can leave the accent in here:
εἰμι-->εἰμ ί? |
| | 12 augustus 2012 23:23 |
| | Well, after long thinking I believe it can be enclitic here (so, no accent!). My ancient Greek is just disapearing...
You did excellent job, Alex!
Lev, you can trust the translation.

| | I seem to remember than "εἰμι" does not need accents if the previous word is stressed on the last syllable... Does it? |
| | 13 augustus 2012 11:50 |
| | Yes, this is what I tried to say. εἰμί is so-called "enclitic" so it looses its accent if a previous word is stressed on the last syllable. |

Hi Christina!
My translation is intended to mean "I am nobody" in Ancient Greek (a quote from the Odyssey, from Polyphemus-Ulysses dialogue). Is it correct?
Many thanks in advance!

| | Hi Alex!
a) Yes, you are right, "εἰμι" it's enclitic here.
b) If you want to translate the quote from Odyssey, I strongly believe you should use the original phrase "Οὖτις á¼Î¼Î¿á½¶ γ' ὄνομα" (My name is Nobody). It's important to show how Cyclops got confused with the word "Οὖτις" which sounds a bit like "Odusseus" (Ulysses in Greek).
c) if you want to say "I am nobody- I am nothing- Of no importance" I believe "οá½Î´Îν εἰμι" sounds more natural.

| | I believe that using the original phrase is the best!
Thanks a lot, Christina |

| | Gracias a todos vosotros (¡Alex el primero!) por el interés en esta petición mÃa, ya antigua...
Creo que la intervención de User 10 (Christina, según veo) es ya decisiva.
SÃ. Lo que yo querÃa conocer ante todo es la cita original, del propio Homero. Lo que ya no sé es si "Ego Nemo sum" valdrÃa como traducción latina de "Οὖτις á¼Î¼Î¿á½¶ γ' ὄνομα" = "Mi nombre es "Nemo""... Puede que no
¡No obstante, validad esto ya, Christina, Aneta y Alex! ¡Y muchÃsimas gracias de nuevo a todos! ¡Gracias de corazón!

I see you're both fans of Europento
Reminds me "Le nom de la rose" (this movie from J.J. Annaud) |

| | Ouais! Great film based on a greater novel.
I thought as well briefly of that crazy and lascivious monk: Salvatore.
[..."Penitenciágite! Vide cuando draco venturus est a rodegarla el alma tuya!... Et il resto valet un figo seco. Et amen. ¿No?"]
Anyway: " stat rosa pristina nomine, nomina nuda tenemus."
(With this wonderful sentence the novel ends.)
