μεταναγιγνώσκομαι
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

Pass.,
A repent of, c. gen., Αἴας μετανεγνώσθη θυμοῦ (Herm. for θυμὸν) . . μεγάλων τε νεικέων S.Aj.717 (lyr.).
Greek (Liddell-Scott)
μεταναγιγνώσκομαι: Παθ., μετανοῶ ἐπί τινι, μετὰ γεν., Αἴας μετανεγνώσθη θυμοῦ (οὕτως ὁ Ἕρμ. ἀντὶ τοῦ θυμόν)... μεγάλων τε νεικέων Σοφ. Αἴ. 717· ἀλλὰ τὸ ἐγνώσθην εἴτε ἁπλοῦν εἴτε σύνθετον, οὐδαμοῦ ἀπαντᾷ μετὰ ἐνεργητικῆς σημασίας, ὥστε πιθανῶς εἶναι παθητικόν, καὶ πρέπει νὰ ἑρμηνευθῇ «μετεπείσθη» ἢ κατὰ τὸν Ἡσύχ. «μετανεπείσθη», ἴδε σημ. Jebb ἐν τόπῳ.
Greek Monolingual
