οἷς πρόθεσίς ἐστιν ἀδικεῖν, παρ' αὐτοῖς οὐδὲ δικαία ἀπολογία ἰσχύει → not even a just excuse means anything to those bent on injustice | the tyrant will always find a pretext for his tyranny | any excuse will serve a tyrant

Greek Monolingual

1. περπατώ καμαρωτά κουνώντας τον αυχένα μου δεξιά κι αριστερά, δηλ. βαδίζω θηλυπρεπώς, ακκίζομαι
2. μτφ. έχω μεγάλη ιδέα για τον εαυτό μου, κορδώνομαι.
