1. The word glory in Latin and Greek
Here are some consolidated notes on the word Glory in Latin and Greek.

Information sign More: Expectation of a glorious Greek opinion on a doxology
Information sign More: Whether this or that: What is your opinion on glory?
2. Greek glory in names
The ancient Greek word "κλέος" ≈ "rumor, report, fame, glory".

Words such as Hercules, Cleopatra and Cleopatros (short form Cleopas) have the Greek word for "glory" as part of the word.
3. Hercules
Heracles was a divine (but human) hero in Greek mythology who accomplished 12 feats.

The ancient Greek word "Ἡρακλῆς" ≈ "Hercules" and comes from two Greek words meaning "glory of Hera".
4. Modern Greek
5. Hercules choosing virtue over evil
Hercules at the crossroadsThe theme of Hercules making a decision between Kakia (vice, worthlessness) and Arete (virtue) was a common artistic theme in the Middle Ages (and at other times).

The idea of Kakia (vice) moved to that of "evil" and than of Arete (virtue) to that of "good".

Greek philosophy sometimes twisted the idea of "virtue" in ways that today seem somewhat strange.

6. Heraclitus of Ephesus
Heraclitus of Ephesus (Ancient Greek philosopher) was an ancient Greek philosopher from Ephesus which was then part of the Persian Empire.

7. Change
There is a saying that "the only constant is change".

This is often attributed to Heraclitus of Ephesus (Ancient Greek philosopher) (from Plato) as "everything changes and nothing remains stil,2l; and you cannot step twice into the same stream."Saying: No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man.

When, exactly, are two things "equal"?
Example paradox: ship of Theseus

What about digital copies? What about military units and soldiers, naval ships and crews, sports teams and players, etc.?

8. Cleopas
This Greek word for "glory" as in "fame" could be the basis of a person's name, as in "Cleopas" who appears on the Road to Emmeus after the resurrection of Jesus.
Verse routeLuke 24:18 And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days? [kjv]

   Luke 24:18 
 All 
KJV: And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days?
Greek: αποκριθεις δε ο εις ω ονομα ονοματι κλεοπας ειπεν προς αυτον συ μονος παροικεις εν ιερουσαλημ και ουκ εγνως τα γενομενα εν αυτη εν ταις ημεραις ταυταις
Latin: et respondens unus cui nomen Cleopas dixit ei tu solus peregrinus es in Hierusalem et non cognovisti quae facta sunt in illa his diebus
Wycliffe: And oon, whos name was Cleofas, answerde, and seide, Thou thi silf art a pilgrym in Jerusalem, and hast thou not knowun, what thingis ben don in it in these daies?
Luther: Da antwortete einer mit Namen Kleophas und sprach zu ihm: Bist du allein unter den Fremdlingen zu Jerusalem, der nicht wisse, was in diesen Tagen drinnen geschehen ist?
11. Glory of the father
The name "Cleopas" is a shortened form of the modern Greek word "κλεόπατρας" (kleh-O-pa-tras) ≈ "Cleopatros" where the ending is the modern Greek word "πατήρ" (pa-TEER) ≈ "father". The name thus means "glory of the father".
12. Glory of the father
You might be more familiar with the Greek name in the feminine form "κλεοπάτρα" (kleh-o-PA-tra) ≈ "Cleopatra" which is a generic name meaning "Glory of the father".

There were many women named "Cleopatra" in Egypt - which was ruled by the Greek Ptolemy family since the 4th century B.C. after Alexander the Great conquered Egypt (and many other regions).

13. The Latin word for glory
The English word "glory" is from the Latin word "gloria" ≈ "fame, renown".

The Latin word appears to come from or be related to the ancient Greek word "γνώριμος" ≈ "well-known, familiar".
14. Morning glory
A "morning glory" is a flower, with trumpet-like blooms, that opens in the morning and then closes as the sun rises and it gets warmer.
Gabriel's horn or trumpet is a geometric figure that is a paradox because it has infinite surface area but finite volume.

The name comes from the angel Gabriel blowing the horn on "doomsday" as in "judgment day".
15. Gloria
The name "Gloria" is a popular name for women that was first used in English literature in the 1800's.

There are hymns with "glory" in the title or as an important part of the verses.
