andre-nunes Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 So there's a quote from the TV show Fringe that goes something like this:EINAY KALYNTERO ANTHROPO APO TON PATERA TOYAny Greek speakers that can translate this? I'm just curious if the show-makers got it right, the English translation should be:Be a better Man than your Father.It's one of my favorite quotes and it isn't even in a language I speak...

evakes Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 It is actually more like :"Gine Kaliteros Anthropos Apo Ton Patera Sou"For reference, this line has influence from Homer's Iliad, Book 6, where Hector prays to the gods that his son will grow to be a powerful and strong leader of Troy, and when he comes back from war, others will say that he was a better man than his father, making his mother proud. Ι am very proud that you liked it, it is one of my favorites ,too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
