LATIN:
“Deus mortus est.” ‡‡
‡‡ )
“God is dead.” — an odd phrase, & reverse-engineered
translation of the phrase by 19th. C. Germ. philologist & couch
pope supreme Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche; & to be honest, while vexingly perplexing &/or bemusing, not
terribly offensive, at least not to an
ancient Roman, in sofar as ancient
Romans would probably reply, “pray
tell, which god?”
