Hi!! The translation of the latin phrase "oderint, dum metuant" into English is "Let them hate, so long as they fear", and it is believed be a favorite saying of the emperor Caligula. See: At "Wonderful Latin Phrases" see the one numbered 62, from the West Virginia University at Parkersburg site: http://www.wvup.edu/Academics/humanities/Oldaker/wonderful_latin_phrases.htm At "Latin and Greek phrases" from SackLunch.net: http://www.sacklunch.net/Latin/O/oderintdummetuant.html At VOY Forums: http://www.voy.com/15996/2/6265.html See also the Paul Krugman's article "Let Them Hate as Long as They Fear": http://www.indybay.org/news/2003/03/1580430.php I hope that this helps you. Feel free to request for a clarification if you need it. Regards, livioflores-ga |
