τίς γὰρ ἁδονᾶς ἄτερ θνατῶν βίος ποθεινὸς ἢ ποία τυραννίς; τᾶς ἄτερ οὐδὲ θεῶν ζηλωτὸς αἰών → What human life is desirable without pleasure, or what lordly power? Without it not even the life of the gods is enviable.

Greek Monolingual

μετακυκλοῡμαι, -έομαι (Α)
(για τους αστέρες) μεταβάλλω την τροχιά μου («ἄλλοτε δὲ ἄλλα πρᾱττον πλανᾱσθαί τε καὶ μετακυκλεῑσθαι», Πλάτ.).
[ΕΤΥΜΟΛ. < μετ(α)- + κυκλοῦμαι «μεταβάλλομαι» (< κύκλος)].
