important

English > Greek (Woodhouse)

adj.

Of things: P. and V. μέγιστος, πολλοῦ ἄξιος, P. διάφορος. Of persons or things: P. ἀξιόλογος; see eminent. More important: P. and V. πρεσβύτερος (rare P.), Ar. and P. προὐργιαίτερος. They considered their own interests more important: P. τὸ ἑαυτῶν προὐργιαίτερον ἐποιήσαντο (Thuc. 3, 109). I think this is important for us: P. οἶμαι εἶναί τι ἡμῖν τοῦτο (Plat., Prol.353B). Pompous: P. and V. σεμνός.
