Oikos
The ancient Greek word ''oikos'' (ancient Greek: , plural: ; English prefix: eco- for ecology and economics) refers to three related but distinct concepts: the family, the family's property, and the house. Its meaning shifts even within texts. The ''oikos'' was the basic unit of society in most Greek city-states. In normal Attic usage the ''oikos'', in the context of families, referred to a line of descent from father to son from generation to generation. Alternatively, as Aristotle used it in his ''Politics'', the term was sometimes used to refer to everybody living in a given house. Thus, the head of the ''oikos'', along with his immediate family and his slaves, would all be encompassed. Large ''oikoi'' also had farms that were usually tended by the slaves, which were also the basic agricultural unit of the ancient Greek economy. Layout Traditional interpretations of the layout of the ''oikos'' in Classical Athens have divided into men's and women's spaces, with an area know ...

Kontakion
The kontakion (Greek , plural , ''kontakia'') is a form of hymn performed in the Orthodox and the Eastern Catholic liturgical traditions. The kontakion originated in the Byzantine Empire around the 6th century and is closely associated with Saint Romanos the Melodist (d. 556). It is divided into strophes (''oikoi'', stanzas) and begins with a prologue (the ''prooimoion'' or ''koukoulion''). A kontakion usually has a biblical theme, and often features dialogue between biblical characters. The only kontakion that is regularly celebrated in full length today is the Akathist to the Theotokos. Etymology The word ''kontakion'' derives from the Greek κόνταξ (''kontax''), which means "rod" or "stick" and refers specifically to the pole around which a scroll is wound. While the genre dates to at least the 6th century, the word itself is attested only in the 9th century. The motivation for the name is likely "the way in which the words on a scroll unfurl as it is read". A hymn ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Oecus
''Oecus'' is the Latinized form of Greek ''oikos'', used by Vitruvius for the principal hall or salon in a Roman house, which was used occasionally as a triclinium for banquets. When of great size it became necessary to support its ceiling with columns; thus, according to Vitruvius, the tetrastyle ''oecus'' had four columns; in the Corinthian ''oecus'' there was a row of columns on each side, virtually therefore dividing the room into nave and aisles, the former being covered over with a barrel vault. The Egyptian ''oecus'' had a similar plan, but the aisles were of less height, so that clerestory windows were introduced to light the room, which, as Vitruvius states, presents more the appearance of a basilica than of a triclinium. Vitruvius distinguishes four types of oecus: # Tetrastylos: with four columns; # Corinthian: with a row of columns supporting an architrave topped with a cornice and a vaulted ceiling; # Egyptian: particularly magnificent form of the ''oecus'', with col ...

Oikophobia
Oikophobia (Greek: + ; related to domatophobia and ecophobia) is an aversion to a home environment, or an abnormal fear ('' phobia'') of one's home. In psychiatry, the term is also more narrowly used to indicate a phobia of the contents of a house: "fear of household appliances, equipment, bathtubs, household chemicals, and other common objects in the home."Doctor, Ronald Manual, Ada P. Kahn, and Christine A. Adamec. 2008. ''The Encyclopedia of Phobias, Fears, and Anxieties'' (3rd ed.). Infobase Publishing. pp. 281, 286. In contrast, domatophobia specifically refers to the fear of a house itself. The term has been used in political contexts to refer critically to political ideologies that are held to repudiate one's own culture and laud others. One prominent such usage was by Roger Scruton in his 2004 book ''England and the Need for Nations''. In 1808, poet and essayist Robert Southey used the word to describe a desire (particularly by the English) to leave home and travel ...
