minus-squareHugucinogenslinkfedilinkEnglish60•3 months ago“Prodromou” is a Greek surname, with the rough meaning “the one who walks the road before others”. So him being “a visionary” is fun, lol

minus-squareHugucinogenslinkfedilinkEnglish15•edit-23 months ago… Yeah it is 🫠🥲 In literal terms it translates to “before-the-road” (pro - drómou) (this literal translation includes the ambiguity of before- as in ‘temporally before’, or before- as in ‘in front of’) So any way you slice it, it’s pretty ironic.
