I found that in Thomas Dix Hincks' lexicon: περιτροπ -- : to turn round in a circle, to revolve, or to complete a revolution.

"Μιά μαντινάδα θα σού πώ να'ναι τού περιτρόπου το χέσε κλάσε φάε πιέ νά η ζωή τ'ανθρώπου" A greek friend of mine translated it as "Peritropos (hronos): bir ağacın yetiştiğinden doğramaya kadar zamanı" (the period of a tree from its plantation to cutting). Is it right for you? Thanks.

I think that's best translation, thank you.

Thanks again.

Thank you Nickel. Literal translation is so. But isn't there any metaphor? "To think in Picture"! Kazantzakis "likes" metaphors. And about "παρομοίωσες", i see it as "similarity of clauses in a sentence"

Hi Friends, About the highlighted text; " He was thinking very clear, poetic similarities ...." etc. Is that correct?

Thanks you both.

Yes, in English version same as you wrote. But what do you find out and understand? A broken equilibrium???

Hi Friends, I see that "ισορρόπηση" means "balance". Is it correct for that text which attached, also?

:):)Yes, that's more well.

Thanks a lot, daemon.

Hi friends, ... όλα ζύμη μαλακιά και την έπλαθα, την ξέπλαθα, όπως μου κανοναρχούσε το κέφι μου, .... :confused: ξέπλαθα

The translater had used "yargıç" the entire book, for Λαδάς of Ο Χριστός ξανασταυρώνεται.
