What is the word for truth and its meaning in Koine Greek?
Last Updated: 22.06.2025 02:31
the word is composed of the privative prefix α- and λήθη/lethe which means “forgetfulness/stupor”. So the αλήθεια means “without fault/stupor/hiding”
αλὴθεια / Alithea.
The root verb is λανθάνω/lanthano=to escape notice/to make one forget/to lay hidden

as a result Alitheia, the Goddess of Truth, was always depicted as a naked, unassuming and plain looking woman. The Latin equivalent was nuda Veritas. Truth has nothing to hide and didn’t need all the adornments of the other gods.
There is absolutely no relation to λίθος/lithos=stone. Notice the η vs ι.
