Description
Twilight shows off her expertise of the Greek language.
Ancient Katharevousa (back-translation): “ἓν οἶδα ὅτι οὐδὲν οἶδα”
Modern: “Ξέρω ότι δεν ξέρωteapot τίποτα.” – include teacups for extra happy Trixie
“I know that I know nothing” – Socrates
Modern: “Ξέρω ότι δεν ξέρω
“I know that I know nothing” – Socrates
I disagree. English is effed up enough that it should suffice for anyone.
Θα έπρεπε να διαβάζει περισσότερα βιβλία ελληνικής γλώσσας, ώστε να μπορεί να κάνει πιο ενδιαφέροντα παιχνίδια: τα αγγλικά δεν αρκούν.
Gosh HECKING darnit Carlos!
It’s all Greek to me.
It was most likely supposed to represent him moments after killing Abel and being banished to Nod.
I wasn’t aware that such a statue exists. It might’ve accurately represented Cain at some point in his life. If not, it’ll likely represent him accurately in the afterlife, assuming it hasn’t already.
However it applies, it is still entertaining.
A statue of the Biblical figure Cain after killing Abel, located in the Tuileres Garden in Paris, France. It was sculpted by Henry Vidal.
I put it in the description to match the “classical” theme in the chalkboard, and to laugh at Sci-Twi’s mislabelling of Katharevousa Greek as “Ancient Greek”.

Μην ξεχάσετε να δώσετε Τρίξιη μερικά φλυτζάνια! (Don’t forget to give Trixie some teacups!)
your current filter.Twilight uses one of Socrates’ phrases, “I know that I know nothing”, as her example in an assignment to test students’ skill in the Greek language.
In the modern Greek example, “τίποτα” (means “nothing”) is replaced with a picture of a teapot, because it sounds like the English word “teapot” when spoken aloud. For more information about this and Trixie, search “that pony sure does love teacups”.
