ArchivesRe: The Etymology of the Name Laodice
in reply to a message by Eugene Shubert
Actually yes, the BtN entry for EURYDICE needs attention, since the translation of the word "DIKE" is not correct. The Greek word for justice is "DIKAIOSYNE", (http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/cgi-bin/ptext?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.04.0057%3Aentry%3D%2326888) which derives from "DIKAIOS" (http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/cgi-bin/ptext?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.04.0057%3Aentry%3D%2326887) which derives from “DIKE”.
PS: Lol, I liked your PERGAMOS etymology! :)
As a matter of fact, the word “PERGAMOS” means “citadel, acropolis” and it derives from the word “PYRGOS”, “tower”.
"Until the day that an ancient inscription is found with the name "Alexandrovski" (or "Alexandrev" or "Alexandrov") written on it instead of "Alexander", true Macedonia and true Macedonians will remain Greek, as they always were."
