- W50501141 abstract "The following paragraphs consider all occurrences of four words which cluster together to constitute a theme in Herodotus: namely, that explieitly mentioned good fortune acts as a sign to the reader of impending doom. Of course, this theme, which some might even label an imperfect ideology, has long since been noticed by readers and critics. I have failed to find, however, a recognition of his indirect, even subtle, technique for conveying this message (as weil as others). By analysis of these few examples, we shall see that Herodotus chooses his vocabulary most carefully, reserves some words for specialized functions, and by repetition subliminally underscores his own world-view 1). The words here considered for which Herodotus has fashioned a single pregnant meaning are akmaza, akinetos, eurychcompounds, and euprexie. By restricting his employment of them to foreshadow future calamities, he both underlines their significance of danger when they occur, and without offensively intruding as author, he universalizes the meaning of certain historical facts. He does not hereby pester us with the sterile theories of Ionian philosophers about rise and fall a sin from which he is not entirely free (e. g., 1.5.4). He prefers, however, to enlarge the scope of a few otherwise everyday words without distorting the historical facts which he is reporting. The word akmazo (flourish) appears five times in Herodotus 2), on four occasions to describe eities, each of which shortly thereafter suffers capture, often with sack and desolation. Sardis abounded in wealth supreme when Solon visited it; soon" @default.
