Words Originating From Greek Mythology

[@NameExplain]

What are some other words that derive from not just Greek mythology, but from mythologies from around the world?

[@andrewrobs]

Some of the days of the week come from Norse mythology, like Thursday = Thor's Day. Others are: Sunday: For Sol, goddess of the sun, Sun's day Monday: for Mani, goddess of the moon, Mani's day Tuesday: For Tyr, god of war, Tyr's day Wednesday: For Odin, the Raven God, sometimes known as Woden, Woden's day Friday: For Frigg, goddess of marriage, Frigg's day With Saturday of course coming from the Roman god Saturn

"Aphrodisiac" comes from Aphrodite, and "venereal" comes from Venus which is her name in Latin. "Bacchanal" comes from The Roman God Bacchus. And of course "titanic" comes from The Titans, whom Zeus defeated with the aid of his brother Hades, from whom we get the name Hades as another name for Hell. The band Styx is named after The River Styx which ferried passengers to The Underworld. I seem to be in a rather morbid mindset this evening.

[@darreljones8645]

I was hoping you'd mention "arachnid", a class of eight-legged insect-like creatures that include spiders, scorpions, and tarantulas. The word comes from Arachne, a mortal female who was turned into a spider by one of the gods as punishment. Perhaps easier to recognize (thanks to its use in the name of a movie) is "arachnophobia", the fear of spiders.

[@kaloarepo288]

And "Tarantula" comes from the south Italian city of Taranto -originally the Greek Taras -it was believed that you had to dance the frenzied dance known as the tarantella to wear off the effect of this spider.Sybarite (meaning people who are totally committed to extravagant living styles)comes from a nearby Greek city in southern Italy called Sybaris which was very rich and decadent.

Boreal and Aurora* Borealus are both derived from the Greek god of cold northern winds, Boreas. Hyacinth's name comes from Hyacinthus, a Spartan prince who loved Apollo and was accidentally killed while they were playing discus. So Apollo turned him into a flower. *Aurora is the Roman goddess of dawn and her Greek equivalent was Eos.

[@trien30]

There are no C or CH in Greek. They were written using C and CH due to romanizing Greek words by the Romans. Using kh matches the spelling in most languages like Greek, Russian, Hebrew, etc... to pronounce the glottal stop sound.

[@lewatoaofair2522]

No Js, either. Not even the J sound.

[@matt.s9607]

Do you mean the velar fricative?

[@andreasm5770]

Voiceless velar fricative, not glottal stop.

[@weirdlanguageguy]

The ' is usually used for transcribing the glottal stop. Kh or ch are used either for the voiceless aspirated velar stop or the voiceless velar fricative.

0:27 Stephen Fry's book Mythos and its sequel Heroes (can't wait for the final book of the trilogy!) is really great, especially when the audio book is spoken by the narrator of the Harry Potter books!

[@andreasm5770]

Many of these don't actually derive from the names of these gods but rather the gods are named after things that these words also contain. For example, words containing "Helio-" in them, such as Helium, heliocentric, heliotrope, etc. are not actually named after the god Helios. They use the word ήλιος (helios) that just means "sun", as it still does in modern Greek (ilios). Same with psyche (ψυχή - psihi -- means soul), Eros (έρως, έρωτας - erotas -- means love), phobos (φόβος - fovos -- means fear), etc.

[@lewatoaofair2522]

Alright, pronunciation breakdown time! It should be noted that many of these Greek words weren’t pronounced the way we pronounce them in English. First off, the vowels. Much like with Spanish and Japanese, A=ah, E=eh, I=ee, O=oh, U=oo. And this is always the case. No “ai”, no “yoo”, no silent Es that are littered throughout English to corrupt non-English words. And the letter J isn’t even in the Greek language, and our English sound for it isn’t present either. (In Latin, J=Y, by the way.) C wasn’t present, either, and is likely a Roman to French conversion and was originally a K. (And a lot of people have already pointed this out, and it’s off-topic here, but in Greek, it’s Heracles, not Hercules (which is Roman).)

[@iHerc]

this is true for modern Greek, vowels in ancient Greek were more complicated (short, long, open, close, aspirated), which of course-like in Modern Greek-depend(ed) also on the dialect. If the vowels were just 5 and so simple, we would spell it Iraklis, not Heracles (which is also my name and I always have trouble explaining to people how its pronounced, for that reason)

[@TartarusPyro]

Here is a list of commonly-used words in English that don’t sound Greek, but are ultimately of Greek origin: The word box comes from Old English box, which comes from Late Latin buxis, which comes from earlier Latin pyxis, which comes from the Greek third-declension feminine noun πυξίς (pyxís), meaning “box.” The word butter comes from Old English butere, which comes from Proto-West Germanic *buterā, which comes from Latin butyrum, which comes from the Greek second-declension neuter noun βούτυρον (boútyron), a compound formed from the third-declension noun βοῦς (boûs), meaning “cow,” and the second-declension masculine noun τυρός (tyrós), meaning “cheese.” Thus, the word butter literally means “cow cheese.” The word chair comes from Middle English chaire, which comes from Old French chaiere, which comes from Latin cathedra, which comes from the Greek first-declension feminine noun καθέδρα (kathédra), meaning “chair.” (This same word is also the source of our word cathedral, which is a bit more obviously Greek.) The word church comes from the Old English word cirice, which comes from Proto-West Germanic *kirikā, which comes directly from the Greek adjective κυριακόν (kyriakón), meaning “belonging to the Lord.” This word, in turn, comes from the second-declension masculine noun κύριος (kýrios), meaning “Lord.” There is a popular perception that words derived from Greek are long, exotic-sounding, and mostly only used in discussion of science and philosophy. It’s true that there are a lot of Greek words that fit this description. For instance, very few people would use words like otorhinolaryngology, homoousian, ataraxia, or peripeteia in casual conversation. The word idea is derived from the Latin word idea, which is derived from the Greek first-declension feminine noun ἰδέα (idéa), meaning “form,” “shape,” “appearance,” “sort,” or “idea.” This word is, in turn, derived from the verb εἴδομαι (eídomai), meaning “to be seen” or “to appear.” The word idiot is derived from the Middle English word idiote, which is derived from the Old French word idiote, which is derived from the Latin word idiota, which is derived from the Greek first-declension masculine noun ἰδιώτης (idiṓtēs), which originally meant “a private person” or “a person not currently involved in politics.” This word is, in turn, derived from the word ἴδιος (ídios), meaning “of one’s own.” (For more information about this one, you can read this article I originally published in November 2016.) The word lamp, comes from Middle English lampe, which comes from Old French lampe, which comes from the Latin word lampas, which comes from the Greek third-declension feminine noun λαμπάς (lampás), meaning “torch.” The word machine comes from the Latin word machina, which comes from the word μαχανά (machaná), which is the Doric Greek form of the first-declension feminine noun better known by its Attic Greek form μηχανή (mēchanḗ), meaning “machine,” “contrivance,” or “device.” The word olive comes from Old French olive, which comes from Latin oliva, which comes from Etruscan 𐌄𐌋𐌄𐌉𐌅𐌀 (eleiva), which comes from ἐλαίϝα (*elaíwa), the archaic form of the Greek first-declension feminine noun ἐλαία (elaía), meaning “olive.” The word paper comes from Anglo-Norman paper, which comes from Old French papier, which comes from Latin papyrus, which comes from the Greek second-declension masculine noun πάπυρος (pápyros), meaning “papyrus.” The word person comes from Anglo-Norman persoun, which comes from Latin persona, meaning “mask” or “character portrayed by an actor.” Persona is probably derived from the Etruscan word 𐌘𐌄𐌓𐌔𐌖 (phersu), meaning “mask.” 𐌘𐌄𐌓𐌔𐌖 may, in turn, be derived from the Greek second-declension neuter noun πρόσωπον (prósōpon), meaning “face,” although this is uncertain.The words turbine, turbo and turbulence come from the Greek word τύρβη that means irregular noise, commotion.

All are considered fiction so that is the category where I put Lovecraft's work. To me mythology had to been considered religion/faith before it was replaced by another religion or scientific breakthroughs. That is what separates Norse Mythology from Marvel Comics (yes Marvel had based a lot of their Multiverse around Norse Mythology but based isn't 1-to-1). Norse Mythology use to be the religion of the Nords but Marvel Comics wasn't ever considered religion (yes fandoms feels like cults sometimes).

After astronomers had worked out the orbits of the planets from Mercury to Saturn, and discovered Uranus (during the reign of George III), they saw an approximate numeric pattern in their average distances from the sun. But there was a wide gap between Mars and Jupiter where they thought another planet “belonged.” When one was found, it was named Ceres after the Roman name for Demeter, the Greek goddess of agriculture. But then someone discovered another, smaller planet, then another and another. Eventually so many were found that they were collectively called “asteroids,” meaning “sorta starlike.” In an essay published in the magazine “Fantasy and Science Fiction,” Isaac Asimov submitted (during a period when he had a monthly “column”) an essay describing this history in detail. The title of this essay? Wait for it .., The World, Ceres!

I Don't think that Iove(capital I not L) was another name for Iuppiter in Rome I think the fact that jovial hails from Iuppiter is because of Latin grammar rules The genitive form was Iovis which means that "with Iuppiter" in Latin would have been "cum Iove" or "Iove-cum" Thus, words like jovial can hail from Iuppiter without the need of an alternative name

There are various differences between Greek and Roman mythologies, mostly stemming from how Rome always tried to fuse the mythologies of the people they conquered with their own leading to various differences in characterization and jobs of the Gods, while it is closely tied to Greek myths more than any other, saying that they're exactly the same is very misleading, also if you say Herculean please mention that that is the Roman Version, Heracles' name is pretty relevant to his story, while the word Narcissist does come from the legend, the man's name was Narcissius, also with that legend you missed the chance to mention Nemesis the Greek goddess of Revenge, a word we still use, or Aphrodisiac which literally comes from Aphrodite, Eros one of the deities of love birthed the word Erotic, or Hypnosis which come from Hypnos the god of sleep
