  1. Ibis redibis nunquam per bella peribis

    Ibis redibis nunquam per bella peribis alternatively Ibis redibis nunquam in bello morieris is a Latin language Latin phrase, often used to illustrate the meaning of syntactic ambiguity to students of either Latin or linguistics . Traditionally, it is attributed to the oracles of Dodona . The phrase is thought to have been uttered to a general consulting the oracle about his fate in an upcoming battle. The sentence is crafted in a way that without punctuation , it can be interpreted in two significantly different ways. ref Maldonado, J.L. On Ambiguity, Confusion and the Ego Ideal , 1993, International Journal of Psycho Analysis, vol. 74, p. 93 ref ref http www.websters online dictionary.org or oracle.html ref Meanings and translation Ibis, redibis, nunquam per bella peribis. Meaning you will go, you will return, never in war will you perish . The other possibility is the exact opposite in meaning Ibis, redibis nunquam, per bella peribis. That is you will go, you will never return, in the war you will perish . Greek parallel A Greek parallel expression with the same meaning is also current , . While Greek authorities have in the past assumed this was the original Dodona oracle e.g. first edition of Babiniotis dictionary , no ancient instance of the expression is attested, and a future form corresponding to the rhyming instead of the classical is first attested from the reign of Nero Greek Anthology 9.354 . The Greek expression is therefore likeliest a modern back translation from the Latin. Citation needed date May 2011 Contemporary usage To say that something is an ibis redibis , usually in the context of legal documents, is to say that its wording is either deliberately or accidentally confusing or ambiguous.

The girl would not answer his feelings, so Coresus, in despair, prayed to Dionysus that he may be avenged. The population of the city was then struck with a sort of madness that resembled the state of intoxication, which was lethal to many of them. They consulted the oracle at Dodona as to how to put and end to the calamity the answer was that they had to propitiate the god by sacrificing either Callirhoe or someone who would consent to die in her stead. No one, and not even Callirhoe s foster parents, would do anything to save her life, so she was brought to the altar. Coresus was to perform the sacrificial rite, but, unable to kill his loved one, he slew himself instead. At the sight of him lying dead, Callirhoe was overcome with remorse and, soon after, cut her throat at a spring that later received her name. ref Pausanias , Description of Greece , 7. 21. 1 5 ref References reflist Greek myth stub Category Greek mythology Category Autochthons of classical mythology el ...   more details
