We will nourish.
And boskousan ["feeding"], nourishing. Sophocles [says] about Oedipus: "But if you do not still despise the race of mortals, then at least revere the all-feeding fire of our lord the sun; such an unveiled pollution he shows thus, which neither the earth nor the sacred rain nor the light will welcome."[1]
Greek Original:
Βοσκήσομεν: θρέψομεν. καὶ Βόσκουσαν, τρέφουσαν. Σοφοκλῆς περὶ Οἰδίποδος: ἀλλ' εἰ τὰ θνητῶν μὴ καταισχύνεσθ' ἔτι γένεθλα, τὴν γοῦν πάντα βόσκουσαν φλόγα αἰδεῖσθ' ἄνακτος ἡλίου, τοιόνδ' ἄγος ἀκάλυπτον οὕτω δείκνυται, τὸ μήτε γῆ μήτ' ὄμβρος ἱερὸς μήτε φῶς προσδέξεται.
