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?”
