Question 10

γε (γ’)

Answer 10

(enclitic particle) at least, at any rate (γ’ before a vowel)
γε calls attention to a single word or clause and restricts the applicability
of the statement to that word or clause (e.g., τήν γ’ εἰρήνην ἔχοµεν = “we
have peace at any rate [even if nothing else]”; ὁ βίος καλὸς ἐπεί γε τὴν
εἰρήνην ἔχοµεν = “life is beautiful, at least when we have peace”). γε is
generally put after the word that it emphasizes (but between an article and
its noun). If it affects a whole clause, it is put after the conjunction at the
start of that clause. It often has an ironic nuance
