Tattoos and Ancient Greek

[ajr]

This thread is amazing. Ok so through a cancellation I got an appointment with an amazing tattoo artist for Sunday. Part of it is going to be courage written in Ancient Greek. I did do a search and found it already translated on this thread but this is where I get confused. It seems to be done 2 different ways.

On this thread I found (θάρρος,ΘΑΡΡΟΣ) and (ΘΑΡΣΟΣ, θάρσος)
Are they both right and i'm just looking like an idiot because I don't know this language?

And whichever is "right" in the context of courage when you are in battle, and the courage of everyday life, is it possible to have it done in these 2 fonts. (I want to give the tattoo artist some options since were not quite sure about placement right now)

They're both correct, but Ι'd go for θάρρος,ΘΑΡΡΟΣ, if I were you.  That spelling is peculiar to the ancient Athenian dialect, but it's the one that caught on and became standard for all time (it's the way to say "courage" in modern Greek, too).
The Fontmaster may have time to deal with your font issues later.

In the same order, as in Aristotle:

γῆ, ὕδωρ, πῡρ, ἀήρ, αἰθήρ

ΓΗ, ΥΔΩΡ, ΠΥΡ, ΑΗΡ, ΑΙΘΗΡ

Hi would you be able to help me with the translation of "Only God Can Judge Me" into ancient greek?


Thanks

I am not an expert, so you may want to wait for someone to confirm...

I think the best way to convey the meaning is to change the sentence a bit.

Κριτής μου ὁ Θεός = God is my judge

Hello, everyone!  I've been reading through this forum, and the help that everyone's been giving has been amazing!
I'm looking to have a biblical verse translated into ancient Greek.  The verse is John 1:5 -

"The Light shineth in Darkness, and the Darkness comprehended it not"

Many thanks in advance to anyone who helps out!

καὶ ἡ σκοτία αὐτὸ οὐ κατέλαβεν.

i was hoping you could find the best translation to the phrase, "for my mothers." Recently, two of my bestfriends have lost their mothers, who i would proudly call my own, to cancer. I also have experienced the loss a parent. The meaning of this is phrase is a dedication; to hold strong and never give up. A lesson i learned from my mothers, is now for my mothers. If you could please help me, I would deeply appreciate it. I've cross-checked other online translations, but keep finding faults, but this site seems to folllow through pretty well. After all, it is a commemoritve tattoo, i want to make sure whats under my skin is what i want. Besides, the language is so beautiful

PLEASE HELP,
Mikey Z

Ancient Greek would probably have it this way: ταῖς μητράσιν ("for the mothers").
Our condolences to you and your friends.
