Kleos aphthiton意思

"Kleos aphthiton" is a Greek term that means "immortal glory" or "undying fame." In ancient Greek culture, kleos (κλέος) refers to the reputation or renown that an individual, especially a hero, earns through their achievements and is passed down through generations. Aphthiton (ἀφθίτων) means "immortal" or "unfading."

This concept is particularly significant in Homer's epic poems, the Iliad and the Odyssey, where heroes strive for kleos aphthiton through their deeds in battle and other heroic actions. The idea of achieving an immortal reputation was a central motivator for many heroes of ancient Greece, and it was seen as a means of achieving a form of immortality beyond the physical life.
