Thank you so much!! This is fantastic!
Could you show me what "Τιμῆς ἠγοράσθητε·  μὴ γίνεσθε δοῦλοι ἀνθρώπων." looks like in uppercase?
I think I prefer that.
Thanks again for your prompt response!

"ICARUS OR IKAROS, SON OF DAIDALOS IN GREEK MYTHOLOGY"

hi guys,
I am Wouter from Holland and I have this burning question i would like to have answered.
Can anyone please tell me how the name ICARUS OR IKAROS was written in ANCIENT GREEK??
I am thinking about having this word tattooed, but I'm not sure if i should have it in lower case or in upper case. If you could, please write it down in both ways. Many many thanks..,

Wouter

Ps: i came as far as this: Ίκαρος but i dont know if it's the modern translation or the ancient

Your name in Greek would be:

Διονύσιος Δεμερτζῆς (modern Greek: Δεμερτζής)


is it possible to write this again with out the capitals letters at the front

Hello all, I'm Eliza!  I'm looking forward to getting the following phrase translated:

lay down your armour and seize your life

into Ancient Latin or Ancient Greek, depending on which can be the most closely translated.
Thanks so much for your assistance.  Cheers!

Hi there.

Your phrase can be:

"Τη μέρα που θα μάθω να πετώ δεν θα ξαναπατήσω στη γη"

All the best for the weekend,

Vicky

Dear Nikolos, I'm sure a member of this forum will be kind enough to provide you with a translation. However, do you really feel there is a strong association between Christianity and Ancient Greece? I personally don't think there is. If you want an ancient-looking tattoo about God and the Devil, may I suggest Hebrew as a more fitting language?

Thank you for translating for me! However, when you distinguish b/t singular and plural, what exactly are you referring to? I hope you forgive my ignorance in this area. I am familiar with ancient greek only in that i adore classical philsophy and nothing else, thank you! :)
Singular:  You are telling one person to speak his/her mind.
Plural:  You are telling more than one person to speak their minds.

Myself and my wife,having just been married want to get each others names translated into ancient greek if this is possible.

You understand, I'm sure, there are no Ancient Greek forms of these names. Not even for Martin Luther. In modern Green your names are:

Άλισον

Μάρτιν
