| | Epithet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Alternatively the epithet may identify a particular and localized aspect of the god, sometimes already ancient during the classical epochs of Greece and/or Rome, such as a reference to the mythological place of birth or other genesis. | | | Not every adjective is an epithet, even worn clichés. | | | Jupiter as father of the Olympian Gods with Zeus, but in specific cult places there may even be a different equation, based on one specific aspect of the divinity. |

| | The Rabbinic Epithet Gevurah |
| | The present study of divine power as expressed in the divine epithet gevurah and its various usages is meant as a contribution not only to the historiography of rabbinic thought but also to the comparative study of religion. | | | 4 Epithet means a name of God or a term standing for the divine persona expressing a specific mode of His manifestation or a distinct aspect of His being as experienced by us. | | | As I see it, the common thread linking the diverse situations in which the epithet is used is the concern with the presence of YHWH, a concern which became particularly virulent after the destruction of the Temple but was already prefigured in apocalyptic texts which evidently bequeathed their conceptual apparatus not only to the sectarians. |

| | "Racist!" as an Epithet |
| | The use of repressive and stigmatizing epithets has no place in a community of fact-gatherers, truth-sorters, knowledge-makers, and opinion-shapers. | | | Although no whites protested this "insensitive" presentation of their forbearers, some blacks denounced the portrayals of vanquished African warriors as "racist." According to this logic, any depiction of the victims of oppression must be "racist." The protesters advised the museum that it should have exhibited only works of great African art. | | | So an "ethnic slur" or "racial epithet" is whatever that person deems it to be. |
