Έγ', ὦ ταλαίπωρ', αὐτὸς ὧν χρείᾳ πάρει. Τὰ πολλὰ γάρ τοι ῥήματ' ἢ τέρψαντά τι, ἢ δυσχεράναντ', ἢ κατοικτίσαντά πως, παρέσχε φωνὴν τοῖς ἀφωνήτοις τινά –> Wretched brother, tell him what you need. A multitude of words can be pleasurable, burdensome, or they can arouse pity somehow — they give a kind of voice to the voiceless.

Sophocles, Oedipus at Colonus, 1280-4

Greek (Liddell-Scott)

προάναρχος: -ον, ὁ πρὸ πάσης ἀρχῆς καὶ ἄνευ ἀρχῆς, θεὸς Ἀνθ. Π. 1. 27· τῷ προανάρχῳ θεῷ φίλα Εὐστ. Πονημάτ. 76. 77· πρβλ. προανούσιος.
