τὸ πεπρωμένον φυγεῖν ἀδύνατον → you can't escape your destiny | there is no escaping from destiny | it's impossible to escape from what is destined | it is impossible to escape from what is destined | what is fated is impossible to escape | if you're born to be hanged, then you'll never be drowned | he that is born to be hanged shall never be drowned | if you are born to be hanged then you'll never be drowned | if you're born to be hanged then you'll never be drowned| you can't outrun your fate | you cannot outrun your fate | you can't stop fate | that's the way the cookie crumbles

German (Pape)

[Seite 725] = εἴησαν, optat. praes. zu εἰμί, es mag sein, wird adverbial gebraucht u. bezeichnet den Uebergang von etwas vorläufig nicht weiter zu Erörterndem auf etwas Neues, Plat. oft, vollständig εἶεν, ἦν δ' ἐγώ, τοῦτο μὲν ἡμῖν οὕτω κείσθω Rep. I, 350 d, so daß das Neue in einen Gegensatz tritt, mit ἀλλά, δέ u. ä. Oft folgt eine Frage, wie Plat. Prot. 312 e; Aesch. Ch. 719; imperat., Soph. El. 534, wo eben so das Folgende als etwas Neues besonders hervorgehoben werden soll, s. ἄγε; – εἶεν ἀκούω, ja doch, ich höre! Aesch. Ch. 655 u. Ar. Pax 663, wo die letzte Sylbe lang Ist.
