Ancient Greek
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Proto-Indo-European *trep- (“to turn”); cognate with Latin trepit (“turns”, verb), Sanskrit त्रपते (trápate, “feels ashamed, becomes timid or perplexed”), and Hittite 𒋼𒊑𒅁𒍣 (te-ri-ip-zi /tereppt͡si/, “ploughs”, verb). τραπέω (trapéō, “to tread (out), press (grapes)”) and Latin torqueō (“to twist, wind”) are, according to Beekes, unrelated.[1]
Pronunciation
[edit]- (5th BCE Attic) IPA(key): /tré.pɔː/
- (1st CE Egyptian) IPA(key): /ˈtre.po/
- (4th CE Koine) IPA(key): /ˈtre.po/
- (10th CE Byzantine) IPA(key): /ˈtre.po/
- (15th CE Constantinopolitan) IPA(key): /ˈtre.po/
Verb
[edit]τρέπω • (trépō)
- turn, divert, turn back, rout an enemy
- 800 BCE – 600 BCE, Homer, Iliad 5.184:
- εἰ δ’ ὅ γ’ ἀνὴρ ὅν φημι δαΐφρων Τυδέος υἱὸς οὐχ ὅ γ’ ἄνευθε θεοῦ τάδε μαίνεται, ἀλλά τις ἄγχι ἕστηκ’ ἀθανάτων νεφέλῃ εἰλυμένος ὤμους, ὃς τούτου βέλος ὠκὺ κιχήμενον ἔτραπεν ἄλλῃ.
- ei d’ hó g’ anḕr hón phēmi daḯphrōn Tudéos huiòs oukh hó g’ áneuthe theoû táde maínetai, allá tis ánkhi héstēk’ athanátōn nephélēi eiluménos ṓmous, hòs toútou bélos ōkù kikhḗmenon étrapen állēi.
- Translation by Buckley
- But if this man, whom I speak of, be the warlike son of Tydeus, he does not perform these frantic deeds without divine aid, but some one of the immortals stands near, wrapped round as to his shoulders in a cloud, who has turned into another course the swift shaft just about to hit him.
- εἰ δ’ ὅ γ’ ἀνὴρ ὅν φημι δαΐφρων Τυδέος υἱὸς οὐχ ὅ γ’ ἄνευθε θεοῦ τάδε μαίνεται, ἀλλά τις ἄγχι ἕστηκ’ ἀθανάτων νεφέλῃ εἰλυμένος ὤμους, ὃς τούτου βέλος ὠκὺ κιχήμενον ἔτραπεν ἄλλῃ.
- to change someone's mind; (middle voice) to change one's own mind
- 800 BCE – 600 BCE, Homer, Iliad 10.43:
- χρεὼ βουλῆς ἐμὲ καὶ σὲ διοτρεφὲς ὦ Μενέλαε κερδαλέης, ἥ τίς κεν ἐρύσσεται ἠδὲ σαώσει Ἀργείους καὶ νῆας, ἐπεὶ Διὸς ἐτράπετο φρήν.
- khreṑ boulês emè kaì sè diotrephès ô Menélae kerdaléēs, hḗ tís ken erússetai ēdè saṓsei Argeíous kaì nêas, epeì Diòs etrápeto phrḗn.
- O Jove-nurtured Menelaus, need of prudent counsel comes upon both thee and me, which will protect and preserve the Greeks and their ships, since the mind of Jove is altered.
- χρεὼ βουλῆς ἐμὲ καὶ σὲ διοτρεφὲς ὦ Μενέλαε κερδαλέης, ἥ τίς κεν ἐρύσσεται ἠδὲ σαώσει Ἀργείους καὶ νῆας, ἐπεὶ Διὸς ἐτράπετο φρήν.
- to rotate something, change its orientation; (middle voice) turn around, rotate oneself
- (passive voice) to wander, not go in a straight line
Usage notes
[edit]The passive sense is usually expressed using the middle voice, more rarely in the passive (but ἐτράπην (etrápēn) is used for "to be routed" in Aeschylus, Persians, 1029).
- 800 BCE – 600 BCE, Homer, Iliad 11.231:
- ὅς ῥα τότ’ Ἀτρεΐδεω Ἀγαμέμνονος ἀντίον ἦλθεν. οἱ δ’ ὅτε δὴ σχεδὸν ἦσαν ἐπ’ ἀλλήλοισιν ἰόντες, Ἀτρεΐδης μὲν ἅμαρτε, παραὶ δέ οἱ ἐτράπετ’ ἔγχος
- hós rha tót’ Atreḯdeō Agamémnonos antíon êlthen. hoi d’ hóte dḕ skhedòn êsan ep’ allḗloisin ióntes, Atreḯdēs mèn hámarte, paraì dé hoi etrápet’ énkhos
- Translation by Buckley
- When these, advancing against each other, were now near, the son of Atreus on his part missed, and his spear was turned aside
- ὅς ῥα τότ’ Ἀτρεΐδεω Ἀγαμέμνονος ἀντίον ἦλθεν. οἱ δ’ ὅτε δὴ σχεδὸν ἦσαν ἐπ’ ἀλλήλοισιν ἰόντες, Ἀτρεΐδης μὲν ἅμαρτε, παραὶ δέ οἱ ἐτράπετ’ ἔγχος
There is no clear difference in meaning between the first and second aorists.
