What is Deinos?
There's a new note at deinos.blot.im called Deinos:
The Greek word δείνος, or Deinos, appears in Sophocles’ Ode to Man passage in Antigone. As Sean Dorrance Kelly has written, it can mean strange or uncanny (see Heidegger’s use of the term unheimlich in Being and Time). A terror-instilling thing, the word provides the root for the English term dinosaur, or terrible lizard. But it simultaneously connotes “wonder” and awe.
