Δ Society

In the Temple of Zeus, society and community are very important. We exist as parts of a society, a greater whole, a web of human relations and affairs.

This encompasses the external world that we live in as a whole, but also, and most importantly, our internal community. The smallest cluster of this community is the family, or our relationships.

All are to be respected, but the internal community of our Temple should be held in the highest and most sacred regard.

Those who act in the best interest of all apply this virtue properly. We are not meant to exist as passive, idle beings; rather, we are to ensure we leave a better society behind, in accordance with our powers, when we depart from this world.

One must also keep in mind that, just two steps prior on the ladder of Ethics, we were at war; if society wages war on us, we must wage a defensive war of self-preservation in return.

We know that any such move would be unjustified and the product of the work of the Yehuborim, as we are here only to fight valiantly to wake others up, not to cause further ruin.

Yet, we must still look for the good in it, because we know, as those with open eyes, that through knowledge, ignorance shall be overcome in the end.

In general, our existence and foundation as social entities cannot be underestimated, nor can it be overestimated. A necessary balance between ourselves and the world must be maintained.

We cannot live in separation, nor fulfill our tasks, greater or lesser, without society. Therefore, we must do our best to be lights within society.

Δ Prayer:

“O Master Zeus,

You assembled the first humans and taught them the ways to live together.

Enlighten us, therefore,

In the establishment of a noble community,

O Father!”

Ancient Greek Code Prayer Ἡ Κοινωνία

Ὦ δέσποτα Ζεῦ,

σὺ τοὺς πρώτους ἀνθρώπους συνήγαγες καὶ τὰς τῆς συμβιώσεως ὁδοὺς ἐδίδαξας·

φώτισον οὖν ἡμᾶς

πρὸς τὴν εὐγενῆ κοινότητα οἰκοδομεῖν,

ὦ Πάτερ.

Transliteration

Ō despota Zeu,
sy tous prōtous anthrōpous synēgages kai tas tēs symbiōseōs hodous edidaxas;
phōtison oun hēmas
pros tēn eugenē koinotēta oikodomein,
ō Pater.

Meaning

The prayer asks Zeus, who gathered humanity, to guide the building of a noble community.

The Ethic in Ancient Greek

Ἐν τῷ Ναῷ τοῦ Διὸς ἡ κοινωνία καὶ ἡ κοινότης μεγάλης ἀξίας εἰσίν. Ὡς μέρη κοινωνίας ζῶμεν, ὅλου μείζονος καὶ πλέγματος ἀνθρωπίνων σχέσεων καὶ πράξεων.

Περιέχει τοῦτο τὸν ἔξω κόσμον ὅλον, μάλιστα δὲ τὴν ἐντὸς ἡμῶν κοινότητα· ὁ μικρότατος αὐτῆς κύκλος ὁ οἶκος καὶ αἱ σχέσεις ἡμῶν.

Πάντας σεβαστέον, τὴν δ᾽ ἐντὸς τοῦ Ναοῦ κοινότητα ἐν ὑψίστῃ καὶ ἱερᾷ τιμῇ θετέον.

Οἱ τὸ κοινὸν συμφέρον πράττοντες ταύτην τὴν ἀρετὴν ὀρθῶς ἐνεργοῦσιν. Οὐκ ἀργοὶ καὶ ἀπαθεῖς ζῆν ὀφείλομεν, ἀλλὰ κατὰ τὴν δύναμιν ἡμῶν κρείττονα κοινωνίαν καταλιπεῖν, ὅταν ἐκ τοῦ κόσμου ἀπίωμεν.

Μεμνῆσθαι δὲ χρὴ ὅτι δύο βαθμοῖς πρότερον ἐν τῇ κλίμακι τῶν ἠθῶν πόλεμος ἦν· ἐὰν ἡ κοινωνία ἡμῖν πολεμῇ, ἀμυντικῶς ὑπὲρ τῆς σωτηρίας ἡμῶν ἀντιστατέον.

Τοιαύτην ἐναντίωσιν ἄδικον καὶ ἔργον τῶν Ἰεχουβορίμων νομίζομεν· ἡμεῖς δ᾽ ἐνταῦθα ἐσμὲν ἵνα ἀνδρείως τοὺς ἄλλους ἐγείρωμεν, οὐχ ἵνα πλείονα φθορὰν ποιῶμεν.

Καὶ ἐν τούτῳ τὸ ἀγαθὸν ζητητέον· οἴδαμεν γὰρ ὡς ἀνοικτοὺς τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς ἔχοντες ὅτι διὰ γνώσεως ἡ ἀγνοία τέλος νικηθήσεται.

Ἡ ὕπαρξις ἡμῶν ὡς κοινωνικῶν ὄντων οὔτε μικρὰ οὔτε ὑπὲρ μέτρον νομιστέα· ἀναγκαίαν ἰσορροπίαν μεταξὺ ἑαυτῶν καὶ κόσμου φυλακτέον.

Οὐ δυνάμεθα χωρὶς κοινωνίας ζῆν οὐδὲ τὰ μικρὰ ἢ μεγάλα ἔργα ἐπιτελεῖν· διὸ φωστῆρες ἐν τῇ κοινωνίᾳ γίνεσθαι σπουδαστέον.
