MORE THAN WORDS
Where does the word refugee come from?
From Ancient Greek:
[phyge], flight, escape
In Greek mythology, Phyge was the
spirit of flight, escape, exile and
banishment. She was the daughter of
Ares, the god of war, and Aphrodite,
the goddess of love. Her brothers
were Phobos (fear) and Deîmos
(pain).
From Latin: fugere (flight)
In Latin mythology, Phyge is known
as Fuga. The Word "refugium" means
"escape backwards" in Latin, probably in
reference to a secret exit or a backdoor
in the houses that allowed to run away
in case of emergency.
