| Summary: | What particularities can be observed in the translation of notions of "anger" from the Hebrew to the Greek language, from a Semitic to a Hellenistic culture?

Four tendencies can be detected in the LXX-translation of this basic emotion: the tendencies to theologization, to ethicization, to psychologization and, most clearly, the tendency to politicization. |
