Deinos
May 19, 2024
concept
The Greek word δείνος, or Deinos, appears in Sophocles' Ode to Man passage in Antigone. As Sean Dorrance Kelly has written, it can mean strange or uncanny (see Heidegger’s use of the term *unheimlich* in Being and Time). The word provides the root for the English term dinosaur, or terrible lizard. But it also connotes "wonder" and awe.
