sympathy

English > Greek (Woodhouse)

substantive

good will: P. and V. εὔνοια, ἡ, εὐμένεια, ἡ, P. φιλοφροσύνη, ἡ (Plato).

kindliness: P. φιλανθρωπία, ἡ.

pity: P. and V. ἔλεος, ὁ, οἶκτος, ὁ (rare P.).

congratulation: P. μακαρισμός, ὁ.

the public sympathies inclined considerably to the side of the Lacedaemonians more (than to that of their opponents): P. ἡ δε εὔνοια παρὰ πολὺ ἐποίει τῶν ἀνθρώπων μᾶλλον ἐς τοὺς Λακεδαιμονίους (Thuc. 2, 8).

seeing you let fall tears from your eyes I felt pity and myself shed tears in sympathy with you: V. ἐγώ σ' ἀπ' ὄσσων ἐκβαλόντ' ἰδὼν δάκρυ ᾤκτειρα καὐτὸς ἀντάφηκα σοὶ πάλιν (Euripides, Iphigenia in Aulis 477).
