Hey So there sure are a lot of words in this so i looked shit up to make any sense of hell’s use of Big Words . and also the stuff in greek and latin ofc
“MILLE VIAE DUCIMT HOMINES PER SAECULA SANGUINEM” “A THOUSAND PATHS LEAD MEN THROUGH CENTURIES OF BLOOD” — EDIT: !!!! since the latin seems to be a modification of the latin phrase “all roads lead to rome” , the more accurate translation would be “A THOUSAND ROADS LEAD MEN FOREVER TO BLOOD” !!! i feel it makes more sense as well ; no matter how many paths there are , humanity will always go to blood/violence
“EVEN THIS IS NOT ΓΝΩΣΙΣ” (gnosis) means knowledge
“THE EYE OF ΛΟΓΟΣ” (logos) “THE EYE OF REASON” or “THE EYE OF GOD” as it can mean reason as well as the word of god !! (so hell is kinda dissing god here , saying he sees the world as colorless and to have monopotential .. despite calling him “holy” . perhaps holiness isnt a good thing to hell ; “HOLY IS THE LORD, AND THE REST IS VIOLENCE” said by anyone else sounds like a way to call everything else other than god primitive and violent [an insult] while god is holy and peaceful , but said from hell who loves violence [and hates peace] ? perhaps its the exact opposite . praising everything else other than god)
“SHADELESS ONES AND ZEROES REARRANGED AD NIHILUM” “SHADELESS ONES AND ZEROES REARRANGED TO NOTHING”
“ANTIGONE WITH THE WIND” fun play on words with the phrase “gone with the wind” , but antigone in greek mythology was sentenced to death for defying her uncle creon (or kreon) , but ended her life before the sentence was carried out , and creon’s son (who was engaged to her) ended his life over her body (….. looks at testament IV . god throwing lucifer down to hell for questioning his reasons and then . Yeah Okay)
“ATAVISTIC ANTAGONIST” atavistic: relating to or characterized by reversion to something ancient/ancestral
“WAR IS ONTOLOGICAL” ontological: relating to the branch of metaphysics dealing with the nature of being
“PALINGENETIC SIMULACRUM OF ITHACA, AN EDEN AFORE THE ANTEDILUVIAN” palingenetic: the exact reproduction of ancestral characteristics in ontogenesis , which is the development of an individual organism or anatomical/behavioral feature from the earliest stage up to maturity …. so the ontogenesis of ithaca , the eden before the antediluvian — antediluvian: the time before the biblical flood
“DEATH IS ARABLE” arable: (of land) lands suitable for growing crops // (of crops) crops able to grown on suitable land
“LIFE FEEDS ON LIFE FEEDS ON LIFE. IBID. IBID” ibid: “in the same source” used for saving space in textual references to a quoted work that was mentioned in a reference previously (its the abbreviation of latin “ibidem” meaning “in the same place”)
“PHAEDONIC DIALOGUES, SIMPLE SHADOWS ON A CAVE WALL” phaedonic: i cant rlly find an “official” definition , but its related to phaedo , a dialogue written by plato , where socrates talks about the immortality of the soul and the nature of the afterlife with his friends in the hours leading up to his death . (hell is calling those type of discussions “simple shadows on a cave wall”)
“REASON AND DIACLETICS ARE AXES IN THE GARDEN OF REALITY” dialectic: reasoning , the art of investigating the truth of opinions
EDIT: more info on “SIMPLE SHADOWS ON A CAVE WALL” from a reply to the original tweet/thread i crossposted this from lol (feel free to look there for more discussions and smaller details if u want !!)
